History

Shottsville is named for Lovid McCindry Shotts (b. 1818), who settled in the area in 1839 and who became the town's first postmaster in 1874.[2] The post office operated under the name Shottsville from 1874 to 1905.[3] Prior to being given the name Shottsville, the town was known locally by the name "Stone Town," so-called for the large number of residents in the region who bore the surname Stone.[2]
