This village was laid out in 1842. Its name derived from nearby Sycamore Creek and the abundance of Sycamore trees in the area.
Its claim to fame includes having had at one time, their own professional baseball team, a thriving fair, Congressman Charles Truax, an Opera House (capable of seating 1000), a hotel, and a washing machine factory. With a booming population of 1200 at one time, it was a bustling community.
The school district, which claims two Women's State Softball Championships, is a consolidation of Sycamore, Melmore, and McCutchernville. Go Warriors!
