History & geography

History

In 1836–37 a post office was established in Walnut Township at the home of postmaster George Dorsey, and called the New Ross Post Office. New Ross, then called Valley City, was platted by John Browning in 1855. In about 1868, the post office was moved to Valley City and the name of the city was changed to New Ross to match the post office name. New Ross was incorporated in May 1870. In 1874, a Methodist church was built in New Ross. It was named Brown Chapel after Rev. Thomas J. Brown, who first preached there. (Note that Mace is an unincorporated area northwest of New Ross on U.S. Route 136.)
