Named in the 1881 county history

The history of Stark County was published 16 years before the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

Four villages have sprung up in the township. Justus Station dates its beginning from the time the Tuscarawas Valley & Wheeling Railroad was completed, some nine or ten years ago. There are four or five dwellings, a large frame United Brethren Church, and one or two stores in the village. George Wilhelm has quite a respectable store there. In time, the village will secure a population of several hundred. Plainsburg was first known as Stambaughtown, named for Henrj' Stambaugh, a Justice of the Peace and pettifogger, who re sided there with several of his grown sons. He owned a farm, and in time a tailor named Conrad opened a shop there and began work in his line, as did also a cabinet-maker named Sprankle.

Provenance

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