History of Lohrville
Lohrville began in 1906 when the American Granite Company started digging for granite. This process is called quarrying. The village was named after Charles Lohr, who was the company's first president.
Many people moved to Lohrville to work in the granite quarries. The Chicago and North Western Railway Company even built a special train track to the quarries. Lohrville officially became a village in 1910.
By 1920, the village had 245 residents. However, by 1940, the number of people living there went down to 191. The old train tracks are no longer used for trains. Instead, they have been turned into a walking and biking path called the Bannerman Trail.
