History

West Carrollton was originally called Carrollton, and under the latter name was laid out in 1830. [11] This change was said to have occurred in response to the amount of mail erroneously received for the second city of Carrollton, OH. [12] Before its current city symbol, the symbol of West Carrollton was a simple pentagon. This resembled the city's rich transportation history, as the small town at one point had five forms of transport running through it: train, canal, riverboats, trolleys and cars.
