Gettysburg is a village in Darke County, Ohio, United States.

Gettysburg was founded by natives of Adams County, Pennsylvania, in the late 1820s.

[8] Early in the morning of April 30, 1865, Abraham Lincoln's Funeral Train passed through the village on its journey to his burial place in Springfield, IL.

[9] The railroad turned the town into a busy shipping point for agricultural products.

For example, in 1907 one hundred and sixty-eight rail cars of tobacco valued at over one million dollars were shipped out.

[8][10] In 1922 Ira Petersime, a local businessman and entrepreneur, invented the electric poultry incubator.

[11] In short time Petersime and his son, Ray, built a manufacturing plant in Gettysburg and began shipping their incubators and other hatchery equipment all over the country and abroad.

In 1933 a local historian commented that “the Petersime Incubator Co. put Gettysburg on the map of the world”.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 0.44 square miles (1.14 km2), all land.
