Bath Township, Ohio
Bath Township was sculpted from the Western Reserve after
Native Americans ceded the land to the United States at the
1805 Treaty of Fort Industry. Captured here in more than 200
vintage photographs is the development of the area into Bath
Township, through the trials and triumphs of its earliest
settlers. Drawn from the Bath Township Historical Society
and private collections owned by descendants of Bath's first
families, each photo has been researched and captioned. Through
these images, the reader will meet the pioneers, perhaps ponder
their sacrifices, and tour the township's historic buildings.
