USGenWeb

This listing of businesses of Jefferson County comes from the information transcribed by Dorothy Rathbun from an 1871 Jefferson County map provided by Janet Roberts. A notebook with an Atlas of these maps and the listing of the names has been prepared by and is available from the Jefferson County Genealogical Society.

Names are listed alphabetically under the township in which they were advertised. Some businesses are located in a township other than the one in which they are listed here so it would be wise to check all townships for the name for which you are searching.
