Winesburg

Winesburg, in Paint Township, was laid out in 1832. It was located on the direct route from Canton to Millersburg. Early business places were: pottery, tannery, harness, gunsmith, cooper, and saddle shops. There were small factories making brooms, baskets, bologna, boots, shoes, cigars, and mattresses. The town also had two hotels and dry goods, grocery, and hardware stores. It is significant to note that the residents and former residents of Winesburg have always been proud of their village, and justly so, from the fact that since 1900, they have had a reunion every five years.
