History

Solon was platted in 1840. It is named for the classical Athenian statesman, lawmaker, and lyric poet Solon. Ironically, the local high school’s mascot is the Spartans; Sparta was famously an enemy of Athens, Solon’s home. The National Register of Historic Places-listed Stone Academy is just north of town.
