==History==
Neffs, Ohio, was originally settled in 1797 by George Neff and his family, who were traveling overland from Frostburg, Maryland, with George's two brothers, John Neff, who was older, and Conrad Neff, who was younger, all intending to settle in Missouri.
"The Neff or Näf family originally came from Switzerland, locating in Pennsylvania and Maryland. Conrad Neff, grandfather of our subject (Theodore Neff), a native of Maryland, with two brothers, John and George, started overland for Missouri in 1797. Upon arriving at Wheeling, (West) Virginia, the wife of Conrad Neff was taken sick and died. John Neff proceeded to Missouri, but George remained with Conrad. With their families they crossed the river and located a few miles from Bridgeport, in Belmont County, where they entered land, George founding the town of Neffs, and Conrad heading farther south down river to settle near Powhatten Point. The numerous representatives of the Neff family, so widely known in Belmont County, are all descended from these hardy pioneers."〔''Centennial History of Belmont County, and Representative Citizens'', Chicago, Biographical Pub. Co., 1901, p. 495〕
On March 16, 1940, at approximately 11:00am EST, an explosion at Hanna Coal Company's No. 10 Mine at Willow Grove occurred, killing 72 men.〔Nash, Jay Robert, ''Darkest Hours, 1976, Chicago: Nelson-Hall, Inc, p. 385〕
