In the county-history sources
139 words on this townshipCentennial History of Summit County, Ohio and Representative Citizens, published 1908 names this settlement in its chapter on Springfield Township. These are the passages that mention it, exactly as the scans read.
Springfield township was first settled in 1806, when Ariel Bradley moved from Suffield to what is now the village of ^logadore. Other early settlers were Thomas Hale, Benjamin Baldwin, John Hall, James Hall, Nathan Moore, Reuben Tupper, Abraham De- Haven, the Ellet family, the Norton family, Patrick Christy, James McKnight, William Foster et alii. The township was organized in April, 1808. The manufacturing of the township is all in the pottery line, as great beds of potter's clay are found here. Coal is also mined. Mogadore is the principal village. North Springfield, Brittain, Thomastown, Millheim and Krumroy are also flourishing hamlets. Springfield furnished nearly 150 men to the Federal armies in the Ci\-il War. At the present time, J. Ira Emmet is township clerk, and R. C. Gates, Milo White and M. S. Mishler are justices of the peace.
