Here is a little history about the Village of Sugarcreek (Courtesy of their website):
Abraham Shane officially named Shanesville in 1814, giving a name to what was then a town developing around the intersection of two Indian trails. Today, those trails have since transformed and are now better known as Ohio State Routes 93 and 39.
Shanesville attracted a concentration of German and Swiss descendants because its climate and picturesque countryside reminded many settlers of where they originated. An increase in immigration to the area was spurred when the railroads located in what was then known as East Shanesville in the mid-1800s.
East Shanesville grew in size and surpassed its namesake due in large part to the development of the railroad and the businesses and housing that sprouted up near it. Because of its proximity to the Sugar Creek, East Shanesville changed its name to Sugar Creek to reflect its surroundings and give it a different identity from its neighbor. The two names merged at some point along the way, giving the Village of Sugarcreek its current spelling.
Officially, the original Village of Shanesville was merged with the Village of Sugarcreek in 1969. To this day, Sugarcreek can easily retrace its roots to Shanesville via the intersection where the Shanesville Luthern Church and a memorial monument stand at the intersection of Rt. 93 and Rt. 39.
This ambulance is the first NEW ambulance the Village has owned.
