History

Scroggsfield was named from the open-air preaching (i.e. in a field) of the Rev. E.N. Scroggs.

An 1831 reference had this to say of Fox Township: "Fox, the name of a post township in the southern border of Columbiana County, about 15 miles southeast of New Lisbon, and 130 northeast of Columbus. The office is ridiculously called Scroggsfield." Fox Township was taken from Columbiana County to form Carroll County.
