History of “Vinegar Hill”
Prior to the repeal of
the eighteenth amendment (prohibition) in 1933,
Mt. Pulaski stayed “wet” longer than the surrounding
“dry” towns.
Since
Mt. Pulaski had thirteen prosperous saloons and a few
bootleggers, the railroads brought customers into town from
every direction.
They would come with empty flasks and leave with full ones.
Upon nearing town, the conductor would call out “Vinegar
Hill next stop”.
Thus, the town earned the nickname, “Vinegar Hill”
... a coded moniker which evolved from the shipments of booze in
vinegar barrels.
