History

the text in this section is copied from an article in Wikipedia

The village was originally settled on a river island, but expanded onto the mainland to take advantage of the "Russell Turnpike," a military road. The first structure, a grist mill, was erected in the future village in 1814, giving the future village its first name "Sheads Mill."

A destructive fire in 1894 destroyed much of the village.
