Population over time
2 figuresSalineville fell from 1,311 to 1,206 between 2010 and 2020. These are the recorded population figures Wikidata holds for this place, reached through the Geographic Names Information System number this page is keyed on rather than by name, so they belong to this place and not to another of the same name. Most are census counts, but not all are: an early figure may be a founding or settlement estimate. The change column is computed, and is left blank where more than 20 years separate a figure from the one before it, because a gap that long is not a change between two counts.

Salineville. - Dr. William Farmer was the son of John Farmer, of salt-works fame, and began the practice of his profession in Salineville in 1832. He was a leading physician in the county among those of the " old school." He died in or near the year 1857.

The Cleveland and Pittsburgh Railway passes through the township diagonally from the southeast to the northwest, and has at Salineville a station, where all trains halt. A short track, of about two miles in length, owned by the Salineville Railroad Company, extends west from Salineville to the Carroll County line, and is used exclusively for the transportation of coal from the mines along its line. Big Yellow Creek, receiving at Salineville the waters of two of its forks, flows southeast through the township, along the line of the railway. Once a water-course of some power, it has dwindled, within the township limits, to an insignificant stream.

John Farmer, a member of the Society of Friends, and an early settler in Hanover township, moved into Washington about 1814, and took up at Salineville the salt interests previously owned by the Bursons. Mr. Farmer became one of the most prominent men in Washington township, as did after him his son James, now one of Cleveland's capitalists, and largely interested in coal-mining at Salineville as well as in railway and mining interests elsewhere. James Farmer built at Salineville, in 1838, the first gristmill of any consequence in Washington. The mill is now owned by J. G. Lacock & Co.
