Hilton

History

In 1805, Jonathon Underwood came from Vermont and was the first to settle in the area. Originally known as "Unionville", the village was incorporated in 1885 as "North Parma". In 1896, the name was changed to Hilton to honor Reverend Charles Augustus Hilton, a former pastor of the village's Freewill Baptist Church. Over 60% of the central business district was destroyed by fire in March 1965 and later rebuilt. The Chase Cobblestone Farmhouse and Curtis-Crumb Farm are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
