The name Hensel that it is locally referred to as, originated with a post office located in the countryside to the southwest of the townsite in the late 19th century. When the post office later moved inside Canton City limits, the town ended up being known by both names. In time, Hensel won popular usage. The city council still conducts most business under the name of Canton City. The school in Canton City was known as the Hensel School, with the name carved over the doors to the school. The athletic teams, most notably the basketball teams, were known as the Hensel Redskins. 208.107.123.12 (talk) 04:14, 28 January 2008 (UTC) |
