Return To Gallery Menu   History of Perintown Posted to Facebook History of the Peavine Group Page January 2, 2019 by Roger Myers. Description from post The community of Perintown, a brief history. In 1813 Samuel Perin purchased 14 acres along the East Fork of the Little Miami in a broad valley. He built a sawmill in 1814, a gristmill in 1817 which was enlarged in 1823. He also built a distillery that operated from 1835 to 1845 when it was destroyed in a tremendous conflagration. In 1824 Samuel Perin engaged Enoch Ross to make leather for his shoe and harness workshops. Prior to the railroad all goods had to be transported by flatboat or horse wagon. The post office was established in 1830 then relocated to the train station when it arrived as was usual. The reason the train station was called Cohoon (sometimes Cahoon) was due to it being built on property owned by members of the Cohoon family. These individuals eventually acquired the mills in 1850 until they burned a few years later. The C&C also eventually passed through Perintown but that was after 1900.   Location: Roundbottom Road Date: 1/1/1900 Source: Roger Myers Collection Photo ID: 1888 Categories: Mile 18 - Perintown |
