This cliché could be the slogan for the Village of Casstown. The population has remained about the same over the past hundred years, and the rural surroundings and small town character is still there too. High points for the town have come in recent years when Miami East, the school district that Casstown belongs to, has had championship basketball and softball teams. If it weren't for Lewis Cass, the town of "Trimminsberg" might be on the map where Casstown is today. The site for Casstown was surveyed in 1832 and originally it was unofficially named after the surveyor -- hence, Trimminsberg. But the people of the area had a lot of admiration for Cass, a senator and presidential candidate, so Casstown was named for him. The village's most famous son is poet, historian and author Thomas Harbaugh, who moved to the town as a boy with his family in 1856. Harbaugh's history of Miami County is still on local library shelves, although he probably is best known for the adventure stories he churned out during the late 1800s.
