Shenango
is located at the intersection of the N. Y. P. & O., P. S. & L.
E. and Erie & Pittsburgh Railroads, about two miles south of
Greenville, on a farm purchased, in 1866, of Rev.
H. F. Hartman, pastor of the German Reformed Church at Good Hope.
The town was laid out by William Brigden in
the year 1868, was first named “Atlantic City,” but shortly
afterward changed to Shenango.
The
village contains, according to the census of 1880, 160 inhabitants. The
men are nearly all employed on the railroads and in the shops, erected
in 1882, and are, without exception, sober, industrious and thrifty.
