Forgotten Bluffton: Where is the earliest settled section of our village?

And, why is Main Street laid out northeast to southwest?
Posted by Fred Steiner on April 4, 2021 - 1:51pm

Where is the earliest settled section of Bluffton?

The map accompanying this story answers that question.

Bluffton was incorporated as a village in 1861, but it was 23 years prior to that, in 1838, when the first lots for the village were platted.

Joseph DeFord platted these lots. And, five years before that, in 1833, DeFord built the first home in what is now Bluffton – it was a log cabin. The mural in the Bluffton post office depicts a scene of the cabin under construction.
