- History of Proctorville
- The land where Proctorville is now situated was originally settled in 1797 and called Quaker Bottom. Situated on the Ohio River, Quaker Bottom grew throughout the 1800s as a trading center. In 1834, Jacob Proctor established a general store next to the wharf, and river boat captains knew the town as “Proctor’s Landing”. When the town was incorporated in 1878, the name was changed to Proctorville in Jacob’s honor. Read more.
