Discovering Shiloh Hill's Past
Shiloh Hill has an interesting history. It wasn't always called Shiloh Hill. When it was first started, its name was Steuben.
In 1856, the area was platted. This means that someone drew up a detailed map. This map showed where streets, lots for houses, and other important areas would be. It was like planning out a new neighborhood or small town before it was built.
