Avon / Avon Lake

Circleville

Now the site of the town of Avon Lake (Lake Avon), the last time this town was mentioned in legal descriptions was in 1865. The town was founded in 1848 by William Buzick. It may be no coincidence that Lake Avon's streets were lain out in a crescent pattern and perhaps the developers had a description of the original townsite that we now don't. The lake at Lake Avon did not exist in 1865, or at least was such an obscure and insignifigant body of water, it was not listed on any maps.
