Towns/Cities
- Anna,
Shelby County Ohio (used to be called Carey's Station) -The
early pioneers of Anna were John W. Carey, Josiah Greene, and John Munch,
who came from Dayton in
1833. J.W. Carey owned 1,000 acres of land located west of the present B&O
Railroad. Josiah Greene purchased 160 acres between the present B&O Railroad
and County Road 25-A. John Munch owned land east of Pike Street. The village
was first laid out by J.W. Carey in 1858. It was afterward surveyed by John
L. and Fletcher Thirkield and lies in Section 28, Town 7
South, Range 6 East, as
surveyed in 1867. An important change took place about this time. The
village was renamed from Carey’s Station to Anna, in honor of Mr. Carey’s
daughter.
