History


Kensington was originally called Mayville, and under the latter name was laid out in 1852 when the Cleveland and Pittsburgh Railroad was extended to that point.[3] A post office called Maysville was established in 1860, and the name was changed to Kensington in 1876.[4] Besides the post office, Kensington had a train station, hotel, and country store.[5]
