History

Brookline was laid out in 1871 when the railroad was extended to that point. [5] A post office called Brookline Station was established in 1871. [6] The community took its name from Brookline, Massachusetts. [5]

Consolidation

In 2005, Brookline consolidated with the city of Republic after a vote of the residents of both communities approved the consolidation. The individual names of Brookline and Republic were to be used for each area, but the town would be governed under the city of Republic. Since this time, the city limit signs of Brookline have been removed and replaced with Republic's. Small markers on the main road through Brookline label the main part of the town, though these are ones used by Missouri for unincorporated communities. Brookline continues to retain its post office and ZIP code and is the official address name for the former community, which is as the intergovernmental agreement between the City of Republic and the Village of Brookline stated:

“Name of Consolidated Municipality – The name of the consolidated municipality shall be “City of Republic.” To help preserve the identity of the Village, the City will place signs with text “Village of Brookline” at the current corporate limits of the Village. Placement of signage is subject to State sign regulations when placed in State right-of-way. The City of Republic will work with the United States Postal Service to help preserve the history and operation of the Brookline Station Post Office.”

Lower Salem is a village in Washington County, Ohio, United States. The population was 86 at the 2010 census. The village is home to a number of local businesses as well as a bank attached to the post office and a volunteer fire department next to the Salem Township Cemetery. Salem-Liberty Elementary School sits north of State Route 821 opposite the East Fork of Duck Creek west of the town's corporation limit and serves as the elementary school for more than 100 students of the Fort Frye Local School District. The municipal building, adjacent to the Bob Hausser Community Park, served as an outpost of the Washington County Sheriff's Office during the early 2000s. A number of unincorporated villages share Lower Salem's post office. These include Warner, Dalzell, Bonn, Harriettsville, and Germantown. The area is home to a number of churches. The only one within city limits, however, is the Lower Salem United Methodist Church. Until a deal was struck with the town council in 2015, meetings of the Salem-Liberty Homemakers/Lower Salem Boys 4-H Club were held in the church's basement. This group is the result of the consolidation of a club made up predominantly of members of Salem-Liberty's FHA (FCCLA) Organization when it served as a high school and the Lower Salem Boys Club which was established in 1920 and is the oldest operational 4-H club in the state of Ohio. Lower Salem was once home to a hotel, a doctor's office, an armory, Wagner's General Store, and a gas station and auto parts shop. While all of these buildings remain standing, all have gone out of business. The general store has been home to a number of startup businesses, but none have survived much longer than a year.
