The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗The community was known early by the name "Plainview". At first, the village did not thrive due to competition from another neighboring community, "Eddytown", but eventually prevailed over its rival.
Around 1834, residents began to seek a new name for the village and, persuaded by resident James Gifford (a native of Scotland) named the village "Dundee".
In 1859, 1860, and 1861, the village was severely damaged by fires.
The Uriah Hair House, Dundee Methodist Church, First Presbyterian Church, and Dundee Village Historic District are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Nothing in Dundee is on the National Register yet
That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Dundee has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is First Presbyterian Church in Starkey, 0.1 miles away.
