History

Western Reserve origins

Stow Township, now the city of Stow, was a small part of the State of Connecticut's Western Reserve. At the close of the Revolutionary War, several states had conflicting claims for the vast territory west of them. They finally settled their dispute by each one of them turning over what land they claimed to the federal government. It has been suggested that this article be split into multiple articles. ... The Connecticut Western Reserve was land claimed by Connecticut in the Northwest Territory in what is now northeastern Ohio. ... The American Revolutionary War (1775–1783), also known as the American War of Independence, was a war fought primarily between Great Britain and revolutionaries within thirteen of her North American colonies. ...

Of the thirteen original states, only Connecticut held anything back, reserving a strip of land lying south of Lake Erie. As the new state's government was short of money, part was given in lieu of bonuses to Revolutionary soldiers. Connecticut sold the rest of the Reserve to the Connecticut Land Company, made up of speculators organized for that purpose. Joshua Stow of Middletown, Connecticut, secured for his share the land that is now the City of Stow. The Connecticut Land Company was formed in the late eighteenth century to survey and encourage settlement in the Connecticut Western Reserve, part of the Old Northwest Territory. ... Joshua Stow (April 22, 1762 — October 10, 1842) was the founder of Stow, Ohio. ...

Giuliano Area    - City 42. ... It has been suggested that this article be split into multiple articles. ...

All of this land was surveyed under the terms of the Northwest Ordinance: divided into counties, the counties into townships, the townships into sections. Stow Township was first a part of Trumbull, then of Portage, and finally of Summit County. In the original draft it was known as Town 3, Range 10. The Northwest Ordinance (formally An Ordinance for the Government of the Territory of the United States, North-West of the River Ohio, and also known as the Freedom Ordinance) was an act of the Continental Congress of the United States passed on July 13, 1787 under the Articles of Confederation. ...

William Wetmore's involvement

Joshua Stow came often to his township and spent a good deal of his money in developing it, but never actually took residence. Stow's agent on the land, William Wetmore, also from Middletown, came to Stow in July, 1804, bringing his wife, three sons, and one daughter. Besides them in this first colony were:

• Capt. Gregory Powers and his wife and large family;
• Thomas Rice, his wife and daughter;
• Titus Wetmore, and a younger brother not yet named;
• John Campbell; and
• Josiah Starr, 18 or 19 years old

All of these people resided in Stow the rest of their lives. They bought land in various parts of the town and cleared it and so contributed to its early settlement. William Wetmore died in 1827, but some of his descendants are still living in the town.

William Wetmore was the first justice of the peace in Stow. He and his sons laid out the first village in the township, on the southwest corner of the town bordering on the Cuyahoga River. They built a dam in the river and started several factories. When the township of Cuyahoga Falls was laid out it took this corner of Stow, so that now the Wetmore village is part of the City of Cuyahoga Falls.

Walker settlement

Judge Wetmore's colonists, however, were not the first settlers in Stow Township. This happened in an odd way. Hudson Township, to the north, was settled a little before Stow. One of its earliest settlers was Robert Walker. Walker, who had come from Virginia, brought his family with him. His land was in the southeast corner of Hudson Township. One of his sons, William Walker, started in 1802 to build a house in the woods south of his father's. But in 1804 Wetmore hired Joseph Darrow to cut up the town into sections and to lay out roads. It was found that William Walker's house was built in lot 89 in Stow, so Walker bought the lot and continued to live there.

Township organization and government

Portage County was taken from Trumbull in 1804 and Stow became a township in the new county. A township government was organized in 1808, even though there were barely enough men living in town to fill the offices. The first election occurred on January 5, 1811, at the home of Stephen Butler near the center of Stow. (Today Butler's home is the site of the city administration buildings, at Graham and Darrow Roads.)

The following officers were chosen:

• Trustees: Titus Wetmore, Josiah Starr, and Christopher Starr.
• Overseers of the poor: George Darrow and Thomas Rice.
• Fence viewers (inspectors): Thomas Van Hyning and Constant Rogers.
• Constables: Charles Powers and Thomas Gaylord.
• Treasurer: Titus Wetmore.

On the same day and in the same place a special election was held for two justices of the peace. The two selected were Joseph Darrow and Ezra Wyatt. William Wetmore, Stephen Butler and Samuel Cheney became Justices in later elections. These elections were not held on regular dates, as they are today.

Notable figures

Brief mention of some of these men should be made because they served their town in other ways besides holding office. Stephen Butler, a Presbyterian, came to Stow in 1806 and at once started his church. A meeting house was built at what is now the west end of the Stow Cemetery. This house was used for worship until 1876, first by the Presbyterians, until that congregation disbanded, and then by a Disciples of Christ congregation. Presbyterianism is part of the Reformed churches family of denominations of Christian Protestantism based on the teachings of John Calvin which traces its institutional roots to the Scottish Reformation, especially as led by John Knox. ... The insignia of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). ...

Ezra Wyatt built Stow Tavern about 1810. This was one of the best known stage coach houses of entertainment. It stood at the crossing of the stage lines from Cleveland to Pittsburgh and from Wooster to Warren.

Joseph Darrow is perhaps the best known of that family who have lived on the Street since 1804.

Josiah Starr came with William Wetmore in 1804. He was Howard Call's great-grandfather and lived on the Call Farm the rest of his life. The Call Farm may be the land in Stow longest held continuously by a single family. The farm, however was sold to a real estate developer at the beginning of the 21st century, and the development built is named Call's Farm.

John Graham came to Stow in 1809 and bought his farm on what is now West Graham Road. His sons, Maxwell and William, became very well known horticulturists and the owners of large fruit farms.

Thomas Gaylord was a member of one of the best-known pioneer families in Stow. Johnathon Gaylord came here in 1809 with a party of 40 of his relations. His son-in-law, William Stow, and his wife Peggy were in the group. Both families have always been well known here. William Stow was a distant cousin of Joshua, also from Middletown, Connecticut.

Settler life

Stow Township's rolling hills, thick forests, the Cuyahoga River and many lakes made it "one of the very best townships of Summit County." The settlers earnestly set about chopping down trees for their cabins and to clear land for farming. They also had to deal with many kinds of wild animals. Some of these were hunted for meat, such as deer, rabbits and pigeons. Some animals were hunted in order to make the area safer: those included bears and wolves.

Settlers immediately made acquaintance with the resident Indians. About 500 of them lived on the shores of the Silver Springs lakes, now a city park located off of both Young Rd. and Fishcreek Rd.. Most of the natives were friendly, and would visit the settlers' cabins. They even invited settlers' children to visit their wigwam villages. Most of the Indians moved west during the War of 1812, and they were all gone by the 1860s.

School and Road Districts were early made. The school districts were often changed, but schools were constantly maintained and teachers hired up to the time of their consolidation.

Stow Township for many, many years was a farming community. Most of the farmers kept some milk cows. Their wives made butter and once in a while cheese. When the cheese factories were built, dairying became a major industry. Some of the farmers milked a lot of cows. The milk had to be taken to the factory twice a day and the sanitary conditions were non-existent. Factories only ran in warm weather, so the cows were bred to freshen in the spring. The cheese factories furnished a market for the milk for a long time, but when they quit there was quite an interval when Stow dairymen didn't know what to do with their milk. In 1915, the Stow Elgin Butter and Ice Cream Co. was organized. It provided a market for milk for some time.

Sheep and hogs have been kept on Stow's farms, but the raising of sheep was profitable only during the American Civil War as all of the Union soldiers' uniforms were made of wool. This article is becoming very long. ...

By the end of the 1800s, Stow's population was about 900 people. Several hundred more lived in Cuyahoga Falls and Munroe Falls. These communities were divided off from the original square township.
