History

Deshler was platted in 1873, and named for John G. Deshler, the original owner of the town site. A post office has been in operation at Deshler since 1872. The village was incorporated in 1876. Since the early 1900s the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad provided a large economic presence. Deshler, once called “The Crossroads of the B&O,” was where the B&O’s Detroit/Toledo to Cincinnati line crossed the very busy Chicago to Washington, D.C., mainline. Today, CSX Transportation owns and operates both lines.
