History
Haydenville was founded in 1852.[4] The community was named for Peter Hayden, the original owner of the town site.[5] A post office has been in operation at Haydenville since 1870.[6]
Haydenville was the last entirely owned company town in Ohio. Hayden established the Haydenville Mining and Manufacturing Company in 1882.[7] The company owned every house and both stores in town. Employees were paid in scrip that they could only spend at the company store. They could not live there unless they worked there, if employees lost their jobs they also lost their home. Other stores were not allowed to open up in town. Only in the early 1960s, after the company was purchased by National Fireproofing Company,[8] were workers allowed to purchase their homes from the company.
In 1973, the community was listed on the
