Hagerstown, Ohio

Hagerstown is an extinct town in Preble County, in the U.S. state of Ohio.[1]

History

A post office was established at Hagerstown in 1832, and remained in operation until 1855.[2] With the construction of the railroad, business activity shifted to nearby West Manchester, and the town's population dwindled.[3][4]
