Verbatim Passage from Source
"Like Hendrickson, Hilliard is an old railroad, timber, and iron-mining center in northern Butler County. In 1869, George W. Hill purchased a large tract of timber land in the area. The Iron Mountain Railroad came through town in 1872 and built a spur to a local iron mine. Mr. Hill's lumber yard on the railroad became known as "Hill's Yard," which was later changed to "Hilliard"."
