history
Plattsburg is about nine miles west of London and eleven miles east of the village of Springfield . The village was planned and mapped on September 30, 1852 by William Osborn and Amaziah Judy , the surveyor's name was John B. Fish. It was divided into 30 parcels, 1 to 16 were planned by Osborn and 17 to 30 by Judy. Bolivar Judy loots the first house on plot 17. In 1853, Andrew Nichelson, Amaziah and Bolivar Judy built the station building on the railway line. William Osborn had the "Brick Hotel" built on plot 1, which he ran there for several years. Services for Unitarians and other Christian communities were held in the 1846 People's House. The new stone school building was to the east of parcels 23 and 24; it was donated by William Osborn around 1848. Before that, the school and the church communities were housed in a small brick building from 1825. The Plattsburgh Post Office was established in 1867 and remained in operation until 1968.
A railway line of the Norfolk Southern Railway (originally New York Central Railroad ) from London to Springfield runs south along the place.
The rectory was built on plot No. 1, the church is built on No. 16. At first the place did not have a name of its own. The survey plan originally stated “Flatfield”, which was later scratched away. In 1858 the place name based on Plattsburgh, New York , was set to Plattsburg at a town hall meeting .
