Everett, Ohio Explained

Everett is an unincorporated community in Summit County, in the U.S. state of Ohio.

History

The Hopewell Culture inhabited the area by ~200AD and constructed the Everett Mound.[1]

Early variant names for the area included Unionville and Johnnycake, on account of the johnnycake canal passengers resorted to eating during a flood which stopped traffic.[2] The present name Everett honors a railroad official Sylvester T. Everett. A post office called Everett was established in 1880, and remained in operation until 1953.[3]
