History

Plainville was originally called Stone’s Prairie after Samuel Stone who settled here in 1822.

In the 1860 presidential election campaign, Plainville was the site of a political rally involving around 7,000 people. This resulted in the “Stone’s Prairie Riot” on August 25, 1860, at which the Republican Party para-military organization, the “Wide Awakes”, confronted armed supporters of the Democratic Party.
