A Look at Its Past
Chandlersville was officially started in 1842. This means that's when the community was "laid out," or planned, for people to live and build homes there. Just one year later, in 1843, a post office opened in Chandlersville, making it easier for people to send and receive letters.
The community was named after an important early settler, Captain John Chandler. He was one of the first people to live in the area. In its early days, Chandlersville was a busy little place. Besides the post office, it had several stores where people could buy supplies. There was also a sawmill, which was very important for cutting wood to build houses and other structures.
