History

Bargaintown was laid out by a property developer who hoped the value would increase quickly, but when it did not, he sold the lots cheaply. The community has since been called Bargaintown.[7]

The area is serviced by the Bargaintown Volunteer Fire Company #2 which was established in 1932 and has two stations located in the community. Station 1 is located at 6550 Mill Road and Station 2 is located at 1 Tony "Mink" Pagano Drive.[8]
