About Loudonville, Ohio

Loudonville is a village of 2,786 people in Ashland County, on the Black Fork of the Mohican River. Delaware people lived here first, and in 1810 Stephen Butler built a lone log cabin by the river, the first white settlement. In 1814 Thomas Jelloway and James Loudon Priest laid out the village with twelve plots, and the town was named for Priest.

The town cemetery took its first burial in 1815. Three years later, in 1818, Alexander Skinner built a wooden mill with two sets of grinding stones, and Caleb Chapel served as its carpenter and then its first miller. A post office opened in 1820, the village was incorporated on March 27, 1850, and by 1880 it had 1,497 people, a railroad and a roller-process mill counted among the finest in the state.

  • The Flxible Company, 1913 to 1996For more than eighty years Flxible built motorcycle sidecars, hearses, ambulances, flower cars, intercity coaches and city buses in Loudonville. During World War II it set aside its usual work to make war goods. When it won the Army-Navy "E" Award, inventor Charles Kettering, born near town, came back on August 27, 1944, and spoke to the crowd at the ball field by the Black Fork. Motor Coach Industries used part of the old plant until December 5, 2014.
  • The plant fire of 1947Flxible's mostly glass 1927 addition was so cold in winter that paint had to be warmed on heat plates before workers could use it. On January 2, 1947, someone knocked over a can of paint thinner, and it spilled onto one of those plates. The fire that followed was so large that it damaged houses near the plant.
  • An opera house from 1909Loudonville's City Hall and Opera House opened in 1909. In 1914 the first movie played on its screen, Neptune's Daughter, a silent picture. Before the new high school was finished in 1925, graduations took place there. Now called the Ohio Theatre, it nearly closed in the 1990s, until three Loudonville High School freshmen raised $4,000 with a local talent show. It joined the National Register in 1997.
  • A free street fair since 1876The Loudonville Free Street Fair began in a private field near the high school. In 1888 the farmer who owned the field planted it without warning, so the fair moved to the town's streets and Central Park, where it has stayed. The Pennsylvania Railroad ran special fares and excursions to bring visitors in.
  • The flood of March 1913On March 25, 1913, four days of rain sent the Black Fork over its banks. The water swept away the Main Street bridge over the river, filled the downtown and badly damaged the Pennsylvania Railroad's tracks through town.
