"The village is situated on a gently rising of the land from the Plott River, there on a level surface where dwelling houses, stores and shops are built on each side of the street and neatly painted, side walks of plank and gravel enclosed with a railing pleasantly shaded with locust and maple with door-yards adorned with shrubbery and flowers, upon those sidewalks you see the man of business with a hurried step to be in time to complete the object of his pursuit, you also see the ladies in their enlarged skirts and flowing robes making calls of friendship and sociability."

                   - Erastus Bostwick, 1860
