Named in the 1903 county history

The history of Belmont County was published 12 years before the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

Barton is a village of a few hundred inhabitants on the Cleveland, Lorain & Wheeling Railway, near the junction of the St. Clairsville branch. It sustains a school, two churches and post office. One of the churches is a branch of the Methodist Protestant with Rev. B. L. Murphy as pastor. The other as elsewhere stated is a Catholic Church, conducted by Rev. Mr. Weigand of Bridgeport. The school, which is largely attended, is conducted by Wilson Dungan assisted by Olive Mitchell. The population is largely mining and the new mines now being opened at Barton by the Osborn people will employ 800 men when they are in full operation. The tipple will he located up the Run about half a mile from the station and special tracks will have to be run to it.

Provenance

Read by machine from the printed index of the Sanborn fire insurance atlases of Belmont County, Ohio, held by the Library of Congress. Sanborn atlases published before 1930 are in the public domain. Only names that at least three of four independent readings agreed on are published, and no spelling has been corrected: what appears here is what the recogniser returned from the ink.
