Fredericktown is a historic unincorporated community at the confluence of the north and middle forks of Little Beaver Creek in northeastern St. Clair Township, Columbiana County, Ohio, United States. [1] It lies about six miles north of nearby East Liverpool and about 50 miles west of Pittsburgh. It is known for its historic buildings and its natural environment.[ citation needed]
Fredericktown was laid out in 1833 by George Frederick, and named for him. [2] A former variant name was Saint Clair. [3] A post office called Saint Clair operated between 1848 and 1918. [4]
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]
