THE PLAAG FAMILY NAME GOES BACK TO THE VERY EARLIEST YEARS IN THE AREA OF THE CEDAR LANE AND SYLVAN AVENUE. THE FAMILY WAS VERY ACTIVE IN GERMAN-AMERICAN ACTIVITIES DURING THE FIRST HALF OF THE 20TH CENTURY, LENDING THEIR TALENTS TO THE LIEDERKRANZ SOCIETY AND OTHER LOCAL ETHNIC ACTIVITIES. PLAAG'S GROVE WAS ALSO ONE OF THE FAMILY COMMUNITY ACCOMPLISHMENTS. THE NAME OF "GUS" HEINTZ WILL ALSO BE FAMILIAR TO OLD TIME RESIDENTS OF THE "COLONIAL PARK" AREA OF HAMILTON. THE ORIGINAL PLAAG HOMESTEAD STILL STANDS, LOCATED ON CEDAR LANE BEHIND TODAY'S QUIK CHEK STORE.
