From Atlas of Madison County by J.A. Caldwell, Condit, Ohio (1875)
Tradersville P.O., in the north-west part of Somerford Township, contains one dry goods and grocery store, a post office, and a blacksmith shop. It is four miles north from Somerford.
The map shows a hamlet in the northern part of the township by the name of Tradersville, but there are now only two or three houses in the place. At one time it was an important trading center, but it long ago gave up hopes of becoming an urban center. The only industry represented in the place now is a general store owned by H. A. Lewis. Several years ago there was a flourishing Methodist Episcopal church in the hamlet, but it has been discontinued for many years.
