History
Schnecksville was settled in 1756 by Adam Schneck. His log home is still standing but has been moved approximately half a mile from its original location. In 1840, Schnecksville was laid out by Daniel Schneck. Descendants of the Schnecks still currently reside in the town. He and his son Moses Schneck owned a hotel and other buildings. George Rau opened a store in Schnecksville, and the post office was opened in 1846; Peter Gross was its first postmaster. In 1880, the population was 160 and there were two hotels, a store, 22 dwellings, a school, and a church.
