Conesville History
Conesville was likely named after Beebe Stewart Cone. In 1847, he and three other men built a large distillery. This distillery was on the west side of the Muskingum River. Houses for workers and small shops were built nearby.
The first distillery burned down in 1857. Beebe Cone then left the business. Another man, James Beebe, rebuilt the distillery. However, it also burned down a few years later. Before 1840, a man named Delaney bought land in the same area. He wanted to name it Delaneysville, but his plans did not work out.
A big power plant, called the Conesville Power Plant, is located just east of the village. It began operating in 1957.
