The origin of the name of Maynard is relatively unknown; however, speculation has been looked towards Tennessee native United States Postmaster General Horace Maynard. Maynard served under Ohio-born President Rutherford B. Hayes from 1880-1881.

Upon Maynard's growth from the late 1880s through the early 1910s, the community became a small bustling village within its valley perimeters. In 1916, statistics show Maynard to have approximately 1,588 adults and 259 children members at St. Stanislaus Catholic Church and school.^[3] As with most small towns around Belmont County, Ohio, a cultural identity encompassed the communal environment. Nearly one hundred years ago within Maynard alone, seven languages were commonly spoken including English, Polish, Slavish, German, French, Italian, and Hungarian; the predominate languages being English and Polish.

Maynard is also accredited for being the first town in Belmont County to have a bowling alley.
