A Century and a Half of Names and Growth
Woodburn has carried three names since being platted in 1865 -- Phelps Station, Woodburn, and briefly 'Shirley City' from 1895 until reverting to Woodburn in 1956 -- and today counts roughly 1,566 residents. That long, slow growth pattern left a housing stock mixing genuinely old rural construction with newer, smaller-town infill.
Moisture Pressure in a Small Township Town
Woodburn's older homes, some predating the town's mid-1950s return to its original name, often have less insulation and ventilation than newer construction, and the same humid Allen County summers and freeze-thaw winters that affect Fort Wayne apply just as much in Maumee Township. Older wood-frame construction in particular can hold moisture longer after a leak or a wet season.
