History
Tiltonsville was laid out in 1806 by John Tilton, and named for him. He purchased this land and full Section No. 22 from the United States at a land auction in Pittsburgh on November 25, 1796. Tilton paid $3,623.76 for 900 acres of land – half at the time of purchase and the balance on November 18, 1797; his deed by patents dated November 20, 1797, and it is signed by President John Adams. A post office called Tiltonville was established in 1852, and the name was changed to Tiltonsville in 1875.
Tiltonsville is the location of the Hodgen's Cemetery Mound, a burial mound built by the prehistoric Adena culture.
