Maynard, Ohio

Maynard is an unincorporated community located in western Colerain Township, Belmont County, Ohio, United States, along Wheeling Creek.

[5] While serving as a Representative from Tennessee, Maynard had visited the county seat St. Clairsville stumping on behalf of President Andrew Johnson and his policies while on the Swing Around the Circle campaign nearly fifteen years before the Post Office's naming.

[7][8] The Maynard area saw initial development as Henderson's Station as a stop on the Cleveland, Tuscarawas Valley & Wheeling Railway.

Maynard saw substantial growth as coal works were mined, commencing around the time its post office was established through the 1920s.

Railroad executive and coal mine owner Selah Chamberlain purchased land and developed a grouping of 77 company houses on a hill above Maynard, which would be called New Pittsburgh in 1883.
