Stone Creek is a village in Tuscarawas County, Ohio, United States.

Other settlers soon followed thanks to the construction of the Ohio and Erie Canal through Tuscarawas County.

These settlers were mostly of Germans descent, some of whom came directly from Germany, while others were second or third generation from citizens from Pennsylvania.

It allowed shipping to eastern markets and increased the price of farm produce such as wheat.

This helped to stimulate the settlement of the area, since it was close enough to canal shipping points.

In the early years of the settlement, a resident by the name of Philip Burrier hauled loads of stone to create a passage across the creek for horses and wagons to cross.

The first formal attempt to establish a town was made in 1848 when Adam Sherrets platted a site at the junction of Dott's Fork with Stone Creek.

It ultimately failed, so the present town of Stone Creek was laid out in 1854 by Philip Leonhart and named Phillipsburg.

The school operated independently until 1965, when they were forced by the Ohio Department of Education to consolidated with a larger district, ultimately merging with the neighboring district, New Philadelphia City Schools.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 0.43 square miles (1.11 km2), all land.
