A Look Back at New Albany

New Albany has a short but interesting history. A post office was opened here in 1842. This was a very important place for people to send and receive letters and packages. The post office stayed open for many years, until 1881.

New Albany was also home to something special: the very first steam mill in Mahoning County! A steam mill uses steam power to run machinery, often for grinding grain into flour or sawing lumber. This was a big deal back then, as it helped the community grow and process local resources more efficiently.
