Name and history
[编辑]Coitsville Township is named for Daniel Coit of the Connecticut Land Company. There is no evidence he ever lived in Coitsville, but in 1798 he sent a survey party and a land agent to Coitsville. The first white settler, Amos Loveland, came in 1798 and by 1801 settlers started coming in large numbers. [4] Alexander McGuffey, one of the early settlers in Coitsville, moved there with his family from Washington County, Pennsylvania around 1800. His son, William Holmes McGuffey, received his common school education in Coitsville and later wrote the popular McGuffey Readers. [5]
With excellent soil for farming in Coitsville Township, agriculture was the main occupation for many of the early settlers. In 1807 or 1808, the settlers built the first school house, a little log building in the northeastern part of Coitsville Township. In the early years, there were several sawmills and a gristmill in Coitsville; two stores, a tannery, and two blacksmith shops were eventually added to the township. [6]
It is the only Coitsville Township statewide.[7]
