Fredericktown is an unincorporated community in northeastern St. Clair Township, Columbiana County, Ohio, United States. ^[1] It is located at the confluence of the north and middle forks of Little Beaver Creek.

History

Fredericktown was laid out in 1833 by George Frederick, and was subsequently named for him. ^[2] A former variant name was Saint Clair. ^[1] A post office called Saint Clair operated between 1848 and 1918. ^[3]

Historic sites

Despite its small size, Fredericktown has a number of historic buildings. These include an unusual octagonal building which was used variously over the years as a general store, a school and the village post office; two churches (one of which was deconsecrated and is now privately owned); several private homes constructed of locally quarried sandstone; several log cabins; a one-room schoolhouse; a number of barns; and the former Stagecoach Inn, which has been a private home for some years.^{[ citation needed ]}
