Conesville is a village in Coshocton County, Ohio, United States, along the Muskingum River.
Conesville is most likely named after Beebe Stewart Cone, who with three other men in 1847, erected a sizable distillery near the local west side of the Muskingum River.
A grouping of houses for workers was built near the distillery accompanied by several small businesses.
Afterward, Cone gave up that business venture and moved on to Muscatine County, Iowa.
The distillery was rebuilt by a man named James Beebe but it also burned down a few years later.
