Welcome to Historigin

How did your Hometown get its name?

Our nation's history is rich with the stories of rugged individuals, families, and groups of pioneering souls that made their way into the unknown vast wilderness of pre-colonial and colonial America to carve lives for themselves, establish communities, and bring civilization to the new world as it expanded westward.

 

The HistOrigin® app was created to tell you these stories of the origin, beginning and establishment of our countries villages, cities and towns as you travel the roads of America.

Our Community is Growing

The short term goal of the HistOrigin® app is to present histories of all incorporated and unincorporated communities throughout the USA to the traveling public.  Our long term goal is to promote knowledge of the rich histories of all the numerous communities that have lead to the creation of this great country.

 

To achieve this goal we have divided the US into 10 regions from 1 to 10 states based roughly on population size.  Histories of incorporated communities will be added to the database first, followed by nonincorporated communities as their histories become available from knowledgable individuals.

 

If you are familiar with the origin story of your community you can help with this effort by completing the form below.  As soon as the information provided has been verified this information will be added to the HistOrigin® database.
