History

Stratford was platted in 1850. [2] However, Stratford appears to have already been platted in 1849. A map of Delaware County at the Library of Congress shows Stratford platted then. [3] The community derives its name from Stratford-upon-Avon, England. [4] A post office was established at Stratford in 1850, and remained in operation until 1900. [5]
