History

When Edgerton was approached about using his name for the city, he recommended caution. Queen Anne style mansions along Edgerton's Washington Street testify to the wealth and prominence some merchants once had. "You better wait until after I'm dead," he told leading citizens. Seventy years later, when the US Supreme Court banned prayer from the public schools in 1963, the Edgerton Bible Case was one of the precedents cited by Justice William Brennan. Although built by a brewery firm, the hotel (which burned to the ground in the 1990s) was frequented by tobacco buyers and sellers.
