Historical Snapshot This established the first permanent settlement in Medina County! Early the following year Alpheus and Minerva Warner made the area their
permanent home, and in June bore the first white child born in Medina
County, Sally Uranus Warner. Moses and Ruth Deming made thier home there
in time to be with Minerva. Justus Warner and others soon followed. A
salt springs was discovered that led to the Liverpool Salt Works, an important
area-wide business. This was Liverpool Township's humble beginning. In commemoration of that earliest settlement, the Liverpool
Township Historical Society has formed a Steering Committee to plan and
conduct an appropriate celebration in 2010, The Liverpool Bicentennial.
Web Site Accomplishments Salt Springs Float
In 1810 Seba Bronson Jr. trudged up the Rocky River valley from Columbia
Township. Somewhere in what is now known as the Hardscrabble area, intersection
of Grafton and Columbia (SR 252) Roads, he built a small shelter, cleared
some rich bottom land, and planted a corn crop.
This site is a place where you can see the progress being made. It is
intended to grow as planning develops. Thanks to the Valley City Chamber
of Commerce for hosting it!
-The Publications Committee has developed an outline for a new history
book. Responsibilities for each chapter have been assigned and preparations
for writing them are under way.
-Would you like your business to be memorialized in this book? Write up
your story. Details here.
-The Fundraising Committee is beginning the process of applying for grants
with which to fund printing of the history book.
-Application is being made to establish the Liverpool Historical Society
as a 501(c)(3) non profit organization.
- The Historical Society is applying for an Ohio Historical Marker. This
is the attractive bronze marker you often see on Ohio's roads which call
attention to historic sites. And Liverpool surely is such a site.
-A log cabin is being planned.
The first visible accomplishment is the initial development of a float
depicting boiling of salt at the Liverpool Salt Springs in Hardscrabble.
The float made its initial appearance at, appropriately, the Columbia
Township Bicentennial Parade July 1, 2007 at their Homecoming Celebration.
Its second appearance was at the Liverpool/Valley City July 4, 2007parade.
It was awarded first place at both parades!
