Fredericksburg is situated on the north bank of the Little Miami River, opposite the mouth of Todd's Fork. It was laid out in 1818 by Nathan Howell, and contained fourteen lots. A more unfortunate site could not have been selected, as it is subject to the overflow of the river and the wash of the hills surrounding it; yet it had at one time two drygoods stores, kept by T. J. Snyder and Alexander Crawford, and for many years was a town of considerable trade. A bridge was made across the river at this place, a few rods below the present one, in 1815. It was probably the first bridge in the county. |
