Origin of name
Eighty Four was originally named Smithville. Due to postal confusion with another town of the same name, its name was changed to "Eighty Four" on July 28, 1884. The origin of the name is uncertain; it has been suggested that the town was named in honor of Grover Cleveland's victory in the 1884 United States presidential election, but that occurred after the town was named. Another possibility is the town's mile marker on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
