The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗The village takes its name from Nehemiah Hubbard, Jr., a Connecticut Land Company agent from Middletown, Connecticut. Hubbard led a surveying party of which Samuel Tylee, also from Middletown, was a member. Tylee became the township's first settler in 1801, with his family. Many of the early settlers were farmers from New Jersey who cleared the forested area for crop production. A post office called Hubbard was established in 1826. Until 1861, Hubbard was a relatively small town, but the development of the local coal and iron industries rapidly developed the town over the decade. Hubbard was incorporated a village in 1868, with Nathaniel Mitchell serving as the first mayor.

Nothing in Hubbard is on the National Register yet
That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Hubbard has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is William H. McGuffey Boyhood Home Site in Coitsville, 2.9 miles away.
