Description
Platted in 1845 by John Baughman, The Village was incorporated in 1867 as the Village of Dallas. A Post Office was established in January,1853 as the Ansonia Post Office since a Post Office named Dallas already existed in Highland County. As the story goes, the first Postmaster, George A. Turpen, selected the name Ansonia from the clock on the wall in the Post Office that was manufactured by the Ansonia Clock Company in Ansonia, Connecticut. The clock still exists and is keeping time in the present Post Office.
The poultry industry in Versailles began in 1881, and since that time, Versailles has earned the title of "Poultry Capital of the World." We celebrate our poultry industry every June during our annual Poultry Days Festival. The first festival was held in 1951, and it continues to grow bigger and better each year. With ties to the past and eyes on the future, Versailles continues to grow and prosper. The friendly PEOPLE of our community, the PRIDE we exhibit, and the PROGRESS we continue to experience, mirror our community motto...
