The year 1861 was a significant one for this community for several reasons. First, the unincorporated village of Shannon was renamed Bluffton. The name change was because another Shannon also existed in Ohio and the United States Post Office asked the younger of the two locations with the same name (us) to change it.

This, of course, took place in 1861, 150 years ago, thus we celebrate our sesquicentennial this year.
