Downingville was named after the Downes family, early pioneers that came over from Ireland and England. The towns merged and became Magnolia on February 1, 1846.[4] The village took its name from Magnolia Mills, a local gristmill.[5]
The Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District constructed the Magnolia Levee[6] to protect the town from Bolivar Dam.
