History of OwensvilleIn 1839, an Irish immigrant who was a blacksmith by trade-Edward Luster-won a horseshoe pitching match that was to decide the name of a small settlement located at the junction of Iron & Springfield Roads. But to console his upset competitor and friend – Frank Owen – Luster insisted that the small town be called Owens’ville. The name was later condensed to Owensville. |
