Named in the 1879 county history

The history of Columbiana County was published 36 years before the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

18. In November of that year William Heak! and Isaac Siddall laid out 14 lots and gave the name of Watcrford to the hamlet that was to be; but the attempt was a signal failure, not a single house Ixring built there at the time or for many years afterward. Near the same place was many years later started the small hamlet, of East Carmel, where a post office w as established in 1871. The Valley of Achor was the name given by Abraham Z. Rogers to a town which lie platted about 1806. The location of the State road over the ridge about a mile south of the place left it to languish. John W. White, Samuel Jackson and Richard Randolph kept stores during the early years. At the mills, which gave the locality some notoriety, was established a post office. Jacob Young was the first postmaster.

Provenance

Read by machine from the printed index of the Sanborn fire insurance atlases of Columbiana 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.
