History of Hayesville

The land where Hayesville now stands was first owned by a person named Lemuel Boulter. He later sold his part of the land to Linus Hayes. The very first people to settle in this area arrived in 1817.

A post office was set up for the settlers in 1827. It was located at a place called Hayes Cross Roads. The village of Hayesville was officially planned out in 1830. Its plots were recorded in Mansfield, Ohio on October 26, 1830.

The village was named after Linus Hayes, who owned the land. Hayes Cross Roads later became known as Hayesville. The village officially became an incorporated village in 1849. This means it became its own legal town.
