"Teegarden"
"The area near the intersection of Teegarden and McCracken roads in Salem Township is what is officially designated as Teegarden on the Columbiana County map. It's about five mile southeast of Salem and about five miles northwest of Lisbon.
How It Got Its Name:
There are no official records to indicate how Teegarden got its name, though most locals and historians figure it was named for Uriah Teegarden, one of the first settlers there.
Landmarks: The only land mark left standing from the days when Teegarden was a small settlement is the Centennial Covered Bridge which crosses the Middle Fork of Little Beaver Creek on Eagleton Road. Area historian Dale Shaffer said the bridge was built in 1876 by Simon A. Shive. It was named the Centennial bridge because it was built during the year of the United States centennial celebration. The bridge remained open to traffic until about two years ago, when a new concrete span was built across the creek. The covered bridge was left standing for pedestrians. Eagleton's Glen, a small, public picnic area, is beside the bridge and is part of the Salem City Parks system.
Teegarden in History:
Local history books don't say when Teegarden was settled or whether it was ever a small town. The only indication that people lived at Teegarden – which was originally called Teegarden Station – is the fact that the first post office in Salem Township was built there in 1868. Uriah Teegarden was the first postmaster at Teegarden Station, which was located along the former Niles and New Lisbon Railroad line. Teagarden's Mill was built along the banks of the creek and stayed there until 1904. A logging mill and some other small businesses popped up during the 1800's but have long since disappeared. Shaffer said the former Lewis Coal and Iron Works was to the south of Teegarden.
Its People:
Again, there is not much history available about Teegarden. Local historians believe it was simply a small area where Teegarden residents built their mills and made their living. It may also have been a stop on the old railroad line, though that is not documented. The mills are gone now and most of the land on which the original settlement may have stood is farmland today."
