History of Crossenville

Crossenville was founded in 1817 by a man named William Crossen. He decided to name the new settlement after himself. This was a common practice when pioneers were exploring and settling new lands in the early 1800s.

Life in early Crossenville would have been focused on farming and building a new community. People relied on local services, including a post office for sending and receiving mail. However, the Crossenville post office eventually closed its doors in 1905. This often happens when a community's population changes or when new ways of communication become popular.
