History of Ansonia
Ansonia was started in 1845. It was first called "Dallas." The village grew slowly at first. A big change happened when a railroad arrived in 1852.
The area around Ansonia had many swamps. This meant there was a lot of woodland nearby. Because of this, Ansonia became a place where many products were made from hardwood.
In 1873, the people of Ansonia built a new, large two-story school. It cost ten thousand dollars. This building was the first home for Ansonia High School, which began that same year. The 1873 school was later taken down. A new one was built in its place in 1903.
Another important building in the village was a mausoleum. This special building, made of marble, was built in 1911. It was the first mausoleum in all of Darke County.
In its early years, Ansonia had many community groups. These groups helped people connect and work together. For example, a group called the Masons started in 1874 with sixteen members. Over the next forty years, this group grew much larger. Another group, the Odd Fellows, began in 1875. It also started with sixteen members and grew a lot. Women in the village also formed a group called the Daughters of Rebekah in 1894. The Knights of Pythias, another community group, was also started in Ansonia in 1889. These groups showed how people in Ansonia came together to build their community.
