A Separate City
Rossville, named in honor of Pennsylvania Senator James Ross, was a separate city from Hamilton until the mid-1850s when it was annexed by Hamilton. Many street names have changed, such as Morris to Main, Boudinot to Park, North to Wayne, and South to Arch. Ross Avenue (then Ross Street) was originally planned to be the town’s main thoroughfare.
