Hello! I recommend checking out this category: [1]. It can shine some light on similar areas. Red Director (talk) 17:09, 17 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the link, although I’ve recently had interest in Minor Civil Divisions, including shadow towns, technically these smaller communities should at least be referenced within certain articles. As another point would be to also maybe recognize other former names of places for historical purposes and value.

I had just recently acquired the History of Crawford County of PA book so I might try to make the connections down. Largo96 (talk) 16:49, 21 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

I read in a wiki article that Jack Dempsey, notable for large scale promotional boxing in the “post-war” period was a great expectation up until a pivotal title loss sometime after a radio broadcast international bout with 85,000 in attendance and 20,000 outside the gates. He would fight until a US Marine, Gene Tunney, an Irishman from Philadelphia was able to end his career in a decisive match. The battles began to hold more credence for officiating, and a new spectacle of controversy in the mien. Dempsey’s appearances in public life took a corporate swing, and his children succeed him. Somewhere across from the Bronx I could see that Manassa Mauler looking up my retired gramps for an Okinawa sushi sandwich date. They say, “Men meet, mountains never.” -Poor Richard’s Almanack p. 1. Seeing we will gathered together at the harvest “as sheaves of wheat,” Mic. 4: 12, can I put a lily on his grave and say that a man like that in our “Greatest Generation” deserves a last glance for the fair trial of his legacy. I read between the lines up to the point of suggestive nomenclature. Manassa could be anywhere. The text states it is in Colorado per acronym, and I find that appropriately vague. Perhaps you can rescue the small town name from the disambiguation page and tell me who this peer of mine was before he is forgotten to the internet age.

Actually I would like inquire if I could just make a MCD index on one of my discussion pages for reference. I’m pretty sure there’s no harm to have my own MCD Guide on my discussion pages. Largo96 (talk) 06:11, 29 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

MCD’s of Crawford County Part 1

Latest comment: 2 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Anderson Corners, Cambridge Township PA Route 408 goes through and the proposed paper railroad Petroleum & Pennsylvania Railroad would have gone through. Etymology must have been named after a Anderson.

Black Ash, Troy Township PA Route 27 goes through Black Ash. The etymology suggests that there used to be a lot of black ash trees in the area.

Britton Run, Sparta Township PA Route 77 and Britton Run both cross each other here, all that remains is the Britton Run Cemetery, the village used to operate a grocery store, schoolhouse & church in its early years. The etymology is that Britton Run is named after Andrew Britton whom had built a gristmill along the banks of Britton Run.

Brownhill, Rockdale Township PA Township Route 1016 aka Brown Hill Rd from Lincolnville goes through the village of Brownhill and the Township Route ends on Township Route 1035 or Teepleville Flatts Rd. Etymology suggests a Brown might have been one of earlier settlers of the area.

Buell Corners, Rome Township PA Route 89 goes through and intersects with Township Route 1022 aka Buell Corners Rd, at location is a corner general store that serves the area although I include the other closer business nearby such as Brush Run Lumber & T.J. Coal & Stove, they sell coal. Geographically Buell Corners might be above a rather possible small coal seam. Etymology suggests named after a resident with surname of Buell.

Center Road, Pine Township The Township road of W Center Rd intersection with Linesville Road and Township Route 348 or Cole Rd is where the community of Center Road is, I might be assuming that the Erie & Pittsburgh Railroad went through and a station was at Center Road, currently there is only the Buckeye Aluminum Factory and a Restaurant at the village; Smokin’ J’s CCI.

Chapinville, Bloomfield/Rockdale Border Township Route 1007 or Rockdale Road intersection with King Rd is where Chapinville locale would be the Chapinville Cemetery is the only remnant of the border town and the cemetery is on the Rockdale side of the border next a farm. There used to be a church at Chapinville. Etymology suggests that named after a family surname of Chapin.

Clappville, Steuben Township Township Route 1020 or Tryonville Rd intersection with both Old Grade Rd and TR 1011 or Mystic Park Rd meet is where Clappville would have been located, Old Grade Road was part of Petroleum & Pennsylvania Railroad that got graded but never got rails laid down. Etymology is proved to named after George Clapp and his brother that were the earliest settlers of the area. A Tramway had operated from nearby Tryonville to Hydetown which might had a stop for Clappville, also Marsh Run of the Oil Creek Watershed traverses through the area, thus the area is prone to flooding.

Conneaut Center, Conneaut Township Also along West Center Road but intersection with Maples Road, nearby is the Baldwin-Snyder Cemetery and as for businesses Swartz’s Metal Sales a home goods store.

Crossingville, Spring Township PA Route 98 intersection with TR 4011 which is both Mosiertown Rd & Crossingville Rd, not far from the Erie County Border. Etymology suggests major crossing point of wandering travelers flocked here.

Custards, Greenwood Township PA Route 285 intersection with Mercer Pike near the geological feature of the Conneaut Marsh Reservoir and the Conneaut Outlet of the French Creek Feeder, and Rock Creek empties into the Conneaut Marsh and Outlet. One of the business highlights of Custards is the Fairfield Custom Kitchens. Also not far from the Interchange with Interstate 79 Exit for Geneva which is NW from Custards along PA Route 285. Etymology is unclear why it’s called Custards.

Delamater Corners, Richmond Township At Intersection with PA-77 and Gravel Run Rd and Lyona Rd is the location of Delamater Corners, there’s only a single business Whitetail Tool &. Die a privately owned business. Also Gravel Run cuts through the area under PA-77 here in Delamater.

Drake’s Mills, Cambridge Township Along PA Route 99 intersection with Drake’s Mill Rd, Racop Rd, Drakes Rd, which is along Conneautee Creek which empties into French Creek. Etymology is after the Drake brothers that lived in earliest years of the area and mill that they had constructed at Drakes Mills.

East Troy, Troy Township Township Road intersection of East Troy Rd and Reiser Rd, the East Troy Cemetery is located just north of East Troy.

Fauncetown, Randolph Township Township Roads of Center Road and Fauncetown Rd is where the community resides, the Fauncetown Cemetery is south on Fauncetown Road of the community.

Fountainhouse Corners, Woodcock Township PA Route 198 has a “L” intersection with PA Route 86 and the outlet of the Woodcock Creek Dam also passes through as well.
