Buena Vista in Taylor Township was laid out by William Wallace in 1850. It was here that a meteor fell about four o'clock in the afternoon of March 28, 1859. The falling of the meteor was attended with great rattling and hissing noises that were heard for miles. The meteor was secured by Dr. E. S. Crosier and it is now in the British Museum in London.
