New Dover was originally called Dover, and under the latter name was laid out and platted in 1854.[3] The New Dover Post Office was established on February 5, 1856.[4] As of 1877, the village did a considerable amount of manufacturing business. It contained one church, a school-house, one harness shop, one blacksmith shop, and several other stores.[5] The post office was discontinued on April 30, 1935. The mail service is now sent through the Marysville branch.[4]
