Where is Allerton?

A Look Back in Time
In the past, Allerton was a busy little place. By the year 1846, the community had several important buildings. There was a general store where people could buy supplies. A steam saw mill helped process wood. The community also had a Baptist church for worship. A chair factory made furniture, and there were several homes for families. This shows that Allerton was a self-sufficient community long ago.
