Historic Magnolia, Ohio
Explore the Historic Legacy of Magnolia, Ohio (opens in a new tab and leaves the Timberline Cabins website), once home to the Tuscarawas Indians. Many of these indigenous peoples coexisted peacefully with early settlers, some remaining in the area until as late as 1852. The region's story begins with non-native settlers like Captain James Downing and Isaac Miller (opens in a new tab and leaves the Timberline Cabins website), who arrived in the early 1800s.
Founded by Richard Elson in 1834 (opens in a new tab and leaves the Timberline Cabins website), Magnolia thrived as settlers claimed land through government offices in Steubenville (opens in a new tab and leaves the Timberline Cabins website). Traversing the “Great Trail (opens in a new tab and leaves the Timberline Cabins website),” pioneers arrived on foot, horseback, wagons, and stagecoaches following Ohio's statehood in 1803. Richard Elson, an emigrant from Virginia, established the Village of Magnolia in 1834, laying out sixty lots with the assistance of John Smith and John Whitacre (opens in a new tab and leaves the Timberline Cabins website).
Originally known as Downingville, the Carroll County section of Magnolia was founded by Isaac Miller (opens in a new tab and leaves the Timberline Cabins website) in 1836 before being incorporated into Magnolia in 1846. Explore Magnolia's rich heritage and vibrant past today!
