How Carrollton began
Carrollton, the seat of Carroll County, began in 1815 as Centreville, a crossroads village platted by Peter Bohart where the Canton-Steubenville and New Lisbon-New Philadelphia roads crossed. When Carroll County was carved out of five neighboring counties in 1832-33, Centreville was chosen as its seat and renamed Carrollton on February 24, 1834, for Charles Carroll of Carrollton, the last surviving signer of the Declaration of Independence. The village is inseparable from the Fighting McCooks, the large Union Army family whose patriarch Daniel McCook settled here in 1826 and whose 1837 brick house still stands on the public square as a Civil War museum. Carrollton today is a small county-seat town of about 3,000 people built around that same courthouse square.
Platted 1815, incorporated 1834 (renamed and made county seat February 24, 1834), by Peter Bohart.
Where the name comes from
First platted as Centreville in 1815; renamed Carrollton on February 24, 1834 when it became the seat of the newly formed Carroll County, itself named for Charles Carroll of Carrollton, Maryland, the last surviving signer of the Declaration of Independence.
Before the town
No source reviewed names a specific Native American village, camp or burial site within present-day Carrollton. The village sits near the Great Trail, the major indigenous overland route between the Forks of the Ohio and Lake Erie that crosses Carroll County, and the land was opened to Euro-American settlement only after the Lenape (Delaware), Wyandot and allied nations ceded their claims to the region under the Treaty of Greenville (1795) and subsequent treaties -- a generation before Bohart's 1815 plat. Nothing site-specific to Carrollton itself was found.
Nations recorded here: Lenape (Delaware), Wyandot.

Stories
The Fighting McCooks of the public square
Daniel McCook, a Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, attorney, moved to Carrollton in 1826, several years before Carroll County was created. He and his wife Martha Latimer raised their family in the brick house he built on the public square in 1837, and when the Civil War came, Daniel, his brother John and thirteen of their sons served in the Union Army -- fifteen McCooks in all, their two clans known affectionately as the 'Tribe of Dan' and the 'Tribe of John.' Six reached the rank of brigadier general or higher. The house they grew up in still stands facing the courthouse and today operates as a museum run by the Carroll County Historical Society, telling the story of one of Ohio's most militarily prominent families.
A crossroads village becomes a county seat
Carrollton did not start as a planned town but at a crossroads, where the Canton-Steubenville road crossed the road from New Lisbon to New Philadelphia. Peter Bohart platted the village there as Centreville on October 4, 1815. When the Ohio legislature carved Carroll County out of five neighboring counties in 1832, Centreville's central location and existing crossroads made it the obvious choice for county seat, and it was renamed Carrollton in 1834 in honor of Charles Carroll of Carrollton, the last surviving signer of the Declaration of Independence, who had died only two years earlier.

Mostly estimated. Only 1% of these days come from a gauge standing inside Carrollton - the rest are worked out from the nearest gauges around it, so read them as close estimates rather than readings.
48,856 days of records, 1892-09-01 to 2026-10-30. Source: NOAA NCEI GHCN-Daily, 3,240 gauges in and around Ohio. A day is "gauged" when a gauge standing inside the boundary reported it, and the value is the mean of those gauges. Otherwise it is interpolated by inverse distance from every gauge reporting within 50 miles. Nothing is carried forward, back-filled or smoothed. Against NOAA nClimDiv county monthly precipitation over 136,848 complete county-months (checked 2026-11-01): correlation 0.9515, median absolute difference 0.217 in a month. Built 2026-11-01 from the Cracked Buckeye precipitation archive. Snow is the softer number — snowfall is measured by hand with a ruler, no agency publishes a gridded county snowfall series, and blowing snow defeats every observer.
