WALHONDING


This is the Main Street in Walhonding. I know the picture is wide for the page, but it is such a nice picture I have left it full size and you can scroll to view.
Walhonding was built on the site if an Indian village named Tulhillas. Walhonding was growing fast in the very late 1700's and early 1800's. During this early period, a bill was introduced into the legislature to form a new county and make Walhonding the seat. They lost by one vote. When the canal era started about 1825, followed in fifty years by the chug-chug of the railroad, Walhonding, now considered a small town, had their own mill. This was a big boost to a growing town and a great help to area farmers. There was a mill, bank, butcher shop, meat market, post office, blacksmith shop, Sanitarium, Hotels, grocery store and many more businesses. The church and grange carried a full house. The school, which included high school, was filled. There a was even a saloon in Walhonding. In early 1930 Walhonding was moved to higher ground due to the Dam being built. That caused a lot of farmers to lost the farm. There were a lot of houses to be moved and people of Walhonding to start over.
