Talk:Butler, Ohio

Butler Ohio History
I am a student at North Central State College. I am enrolled in an American History course, and I have been assigned a project to research Butler, Ohio pre-1900. You will find an overview of what I have found so far in my research. I welcome any comments or suggestions that will help me in my final submission. Thank you.

Early History -Butler was originally founded in 1848 as Spohntown -Independence was laid out on the northwest quarter of Section 20, -January 12, 1848, by Daniel Spohn -Was named Independence by Thomas B. Andrews, rather in a spirit of defiance at the attitude of Bellville, which was not a friendly one to the aspiring village -The name was changed to Butler in the 1870s -The land upon which the town stands was entered on the 13th of May, 1820 by William Simmons -The first store was started by William Lamley, who kept groceries and whisky -Lamley afterward erected a building, which is now occupied by Downing as a store, and started a hotel -Joseph Geary kept this hotel, the first in the place -Gen. G. A. Jones came up from Mount Vernon, erected a warehouse, started a store and dealt in produce -1856, I. W. Pearce purchased the warehouse of Jones, conducted the business, and was also railroad agent -In 1877, the village was incorporated, the first Mayor being J. M. McLaughlin; the second and present Mayor, George W. McBee -The population is about four hundred

McBee must hold the record for longest tenure of a Mayor in Ohio as he has apparently been in office nearly 120 years. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:305F:9690:989B:C4AD:ABBB:6094 (talk) 19:10, 8 December 2018 (UTC)
