History
Early Ohio Company residents who worked at the settlement (and who explored the surrounding countryside) included Hugh Parker and Christopher Gist. It was, at the time, the westernmost outpost of colonial civilization and was most commonly referred to as the "New Store" settlement at the time. It does, however, have 16 active alcoholic beverage licenses8, an average of one for every 47.6 residents. Late in that century, portions of the town began to be subdivided for housing and business use. The land and home passed down through George Calmes' family through most of the 1800s.
