When the Pan Handle Railroad was built in Miami County, it was not extended to Snow Hill, and the community became a ghost town.{{cite book | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=gRgVAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA200 | title=History of Miami County, Indiana: A Narrative Account of Its Historical Progress, Its People and Its Principal Interests | publisher=Lewis Pub. | author=Bodurtha , Arthur Lawrence | year=1914 | pages=200}}
