Commodore Perry Nichols 1825-1895

Commodore Perry Nichols was a hotel keeper, operating a hotel in Shelby, Richland Co. Ohio Nichols Junction, MO was named in his honor by the Frisco RR Co.

When Commodore Perry Nickols was born on 8 August 1825, in Pompey, Onondaga, New York, United States, his father, Richmond A Nichols, was 30 and his mother, Margaret Rice, was 24. He married Malvina Spaulding on 3 July 1851, in Huron, Ohio, United States.  

 Fort Wayne IN

The Wabash and Erie Canal's opening improved travel conditions to the Great Lakes and Mississippi River, exposing Fort Wayne to expanded economic opportunities. The population topped 2,000 when the town was incorporated as the City of Fort Wayne on February 22, 1840. Fort Wayne's "Summit City" nickname dates from this period, referring to the city's position at the highest elevation along the canal's route. As influential as the canal was to the city's earliest development, it quickly became obsolete after briefly competing with the city's first railroad, the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railway, completed in 1854.
