Welcome to the Killbuck Discussion Board. READ FIRST!

Killbuck was first called Palladium and then Oxford. Finally the village was incorporated in 1882 as Killbuck. In the 1820s Killbuck Creek was a navigable stream. Produce, pelts, etc. of the area were sent down the Killbuck on flatboats to Coshocton to be sold. Early photos of Killbuck show three dry goods stores, a grocery store, three blacksmith shops, a hotel, a furniture and hardware store, a wagon shop, a flour mill, several physicians, and an undertaker. The Cleveland, Mt. Vernon, and Columbus Railroads also helped to make Killbuck the site of various early factories. In 1879 Holmes County's first oil well, a gusher, was drilled here; and 1890 saw a new industry begin and thrive in the area when a stone quarry was opened west of town.
