Since I live in Dillonvale, I thought I would respond with what I know........ It was originally known as Annadelphia until 1889 when the name changed to Dillon after the name of an official of the Wheeling and Lake Erie Railroad. The town's name was later changed to the current title Dillonvale. Railroaders have often referred to the town as Pine Valley, for the depot located near the old roundhouse. This info was taken from a cookbook our local church published a few years ago, I hope this helps some.
