Rooted in Robbins
A community shaped by work, rail, and clay.
Scott County Lodge No. 670 meets in Robbins, in the southern part of Scott County. The community’s story is tied to the arrival of the Cincinnati Southern Railway and to the clay deposits that supported a once-busy brick industry.
County history records that the railroad was completed through a tunnel at Robbins, where crews working from opposite directions met. The Robbins brickyard later became a major local industry, producing tens of thousands of bricks a day at its peak before closing in 1937.
