History

Conneaut is located on an old Native American trail, later used by early westbound pioneers. The word conneaut comes from the Seneca language, and has a disputed meaning. A Mississauga village was located at or near Conneaut, c. 1747.

In 1796, surveyors for the Connecticut Land Company built a log storehouse here, but the permanent settlement dates from 1798. In 1832 Conneaut was incorporated, and was described in 1833 as having a printing office, one meeting house, two taverns, and several stores and shops. It became a city in 1898. Conneaut was originally named New Salem, and the parts surrounding it were named “Lakeville” from 1944 to 1964, though these were eventually combined into what is now known as “Conneaut”. People still refer to parts of Conneaut as Lakeville or Amboy.

On March 27, 1953 a three-train collision near Conneaut resulted in the deaths of 21 persons.
