History
In 1818 Coolville was platted (laid out by) by Simeon W. Cooley, for whom it is named. The village was incorporated in 1835.
By the 1830s, Coolville contained two stores, a gristmill, and a sawmill.
Coolville has been noted for its unusual place name. The village is located close to three other "hot/cold" communities: Torch and Frost (both unincorporated communities in Athens County), and Snowville in Meigs County.
"Roots" General and Feed store was built in 1846 and still stands as a remodeled home with a business front.
The bank originally was built in the late 1800s on Main St, known today as the "Village Hall".
