DEEREVILLE
DEEREVILLE. A seldom used term, "Deereville" was used to describe a neighborhood located along Ogilby, Chaney, Morningview, and Broadlawn roads and between Asbury and Hillcrest. The neighborhoods grew after WORLD WAR II when the JOHN DEERE TRACTOR WORKS transitioned from wartime shell production to manufacturing tractors. A larger workforce was needed.
