History of Magnolia
The village of Magnolia has an interesting past. It was first planned out in 1834 by Richard Elson and John W. Smith. A few years later, in 1836, another village called Downingville was started nearby by Isaac Miller. Downingville was named after the Downes family, who were early settlers from Ireland and England.
These two villages eventually joined together. On February 1, 1846, they officially became one village named Magnolia. The village got its name from a local gristmill called Magnolia Mills. A gristmill is a place where grain is ground into flour.
To keep the town safe from floods, the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District built the Magnolia Levee. A levee is a wall or an embankment built to prevent a river from overflowing.
