Residence of Mr. Frear at Ohioville. Ohioville, a hamlet located near New Paltz along Route 299, earned the nickname “Helltown” due to its reputation for lawlessness, high crime, and frequent brawls during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The rough, Wild West-style atmosphere was fueled by numerous local saloons where workers would gather to drink and raise hell. The area retained this rowdy reputation until around 1836, when a prominent New Paltz entrepreneur and blacksmith named Moses Freer purchased land in the hamlet. Using his wealth and social standing, he cleaned up its image and officially renamed it Ohioville after being inspired by a trip to the Ohio territory.
