History
According to local tradition, it was named for Gustavus Slaughter who won the right to name the town and post office after winning a game of cards in 1855. Though the post office was renamed Slaughters in 1915, the town remained Slaughtersville from its incorporation in 1861 until 1967 when the Board on Geographic Names reversed an earlier decision and conformed to common usage and the present name of the post office.
