Apple Creek, Ohio
Apple Creek was formed from two smaller towns merging together: Edinburg and Applecreek Station.
Applecreek Station
Applecreek Station developed through the growth of the Cleveland, Mt. Vernon & Columbus Railroad. After it was laid out as a town, Andrew Woodruff, a blacksmith, built the first house. The next few houses were built by John Hindman and Elisha Numbers.
- George Core opened the first hotel.
- David Clark opened the first dry goods store.
- The first three teachers of the new school building built in 1874 were Mr. Eberly, Mr. Holcomb and Mr. Caldwell.[1]

- Ira Pratt
- Theophilus Philips
- John L. Cheyney
- John Hindman
- Shuman Kiester
