Founded in 1731, Buckeystown sits on land originally called “Good Luck.” The town's early development was led by Quaker settlers, including the Ballenger and Davis families, who played significant roles in its establishment. The town is named after John and George Buckey, who settled here during the Revolutionary War period and spearheaded its commercial and industrial growth. The Baker family, who purchased the Buckey tannery in 1832, further influenced the town's 19th-century development, establishing key institutions like the Methodist Church and an industrial school for boys.
Buckeystown proudly hosts the Buckeystown Historic District and Buckingham House and Industrial School Complex, both listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, along with Carrollton Manor, listed in 1997.
