Crestline History
The community of Crestline was established following the arrival of the Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati railroad in 1850.

The early settlers thought the area was Ohio's watershed and hence christened it "Crest Line". Though the village was actually not on the watershed line, the name stuck and later became "Crestline".
