Editing Johnstown, Ohio (section)

==History==
Johnstown is part of a four thousand acre (16&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup>) tract of land deeded to John Brown, a revolutionary soldier, by [[John Adams|President John Adams]] for military services in 1800. Brown sold the property in 1810 for $2.50 per acre, or $10,000, to Dr. Oliver Bigelow. Dr. Bigelow laid out and incorporated the village of Johnstown, donating the streets, alleys and the town square. In 1926 a nearly complete skeleton of a mastodon was found by a farmer named James Bailey, and subsequently sold to the [[Cleveland Museum of Natural History]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-09-15 |title=Johnstown Mastodon |url=https://www.johnstownohiohistoricalsociety.com/johnstown-mastodon.html |access-date=2024-09-15 |website=JohnstownOhioHistoricalSociety.com |language=}}</ref>
