This list is excerpted from an article written in 1918 by Howard F. Dyson titled "Old Times In Schuyler" which was reprinted in the Centennial Edition of The Rushville Times, October 7, 1948.

Located on Section 20 in Frederick township. "Located on the river, it was the landing place for all the steamboats that plied upon the Illinois. Founded about 1834, its history is spanned by a decade, for the great flood of 1844 blasted the hopes of those who looked upon Erie as the river port for all Schuyler county. But the town will always live in history, for it was the landing place of many of the first pioneers of Schuyler county. Erie's improvements were confined to a big warehouse built by Ransellor Wells and a hotel which was operated by a Mr. Seaman. Hon. L. D. Erwin, of this city, was warehouse clerk for Mr. Wells in the early 'Forties, and during those years an immense amount of business was transacted there, for it was the shipping point for the country 50 miles northward and nearly all of the merchandise to supply the Rushville stores was delivered at Erie by steamboats."

Laid out by B. V. Teel in 1836, and located on Section 4 in Frederick township, near the mouth of Sugar creek. "One of the old pioneers, in reciting the story of the founding of Schuyler City said, the ground where it was situated was so low a fog on the river would cause an overflow. After the flood of 1844 Schuyler City was heard of no more."

Originally in Schuyler County before Brown County was organized. Platted and advertised by William C. Ralls and Lewis Gay. "The town was laid out in 1836 on McKee creek, five miles from the Illinois river, and in the prospectus advertising the sale of town lots the promoters referred to it as located at the head of slack water navigation. Milton long ago passed from the memory of man."

Located on the northwest quarter of Section 11 in Woodstock township, founded in 1836 by Samuel A. Cliff. "The townsite was surveyed by Allen Persinger, and the improvements consisted of a store and a mill. Micah Warren, afterwards a resident of Rushville, erected and operated the mill."

Same locality as above, laid out, but never platted. Located "on the Gilead road to Calhoun county, and its tavern afforded entertainment to many weary travelers."

Located on the northeast quarter of Section 13 in 1836, laid out by Allen Persinger for William Wilson. "Six blocks were platted and the location on the north bank of Crooked creek, and adjacent to the main traveled road, was considered an ideal one. G. O. Wilson advertised a barbecue to be held at Richmond in 1836, and that is the only mention of the town-site in history."

Located in Woodstock township on the northwest quarter of the northeast quarter of Section 21.

Located on Section 16 in Browning township. "The village was laid out by Isaac Garrett, April 19, 1836, and, in after years, it boasted of a store, post office, church, and school house, but when the post office was discontinued, it soon lost its identity as a town site."

Located on the northwest quarter of Section 6 in Frederick township. Gained "distinction as a government post office, and Anthony Messerer was postmaster, but the town was never platted and when Frederickville was founded on the river the post office was moved down from the bluff."

Located on the southwest quarter of Section 17 in Oakland township. "It was laid out by W. L. Gay...and a number of quarter-acre lots were platted. Mr. Gay had a store there and was postmaster."

Founded in 1840 on the northeast quarter of Section 28 in Bainbridge township by Joseph Newburg. "The town was surveyed by Francis E. Bryant, April 24, 1840, and 24 lots were platted on either side of Main street. Two lots were set aside by Mr. Newburg for a school building site and a Methodist "meeting house," but they were never utilized. In the early days, however, Newburg showed thrifty signs of growth and boasted of a store, blacksmith shop, grist mill, saw mill, and two saloons, but in time the town diminished in importance and, timber by timber, brick by brick, it scattered to the four winds; the town lots were vacated, and even the name became a misnomer, for the government post office, which was maintained there for many years by L. O. Huff, was known by Center."
