Name and history[编辑]
It is one of thirty-seven Jackson Townships statewide.[4] According to "Stories Of Guernsey County Ohio" By William G Wolfe, published in 1943, The first attempt to establish a village in Jackson Township was made by Richard Dickerson, who started a village two miles south of the present location of Byesville on October 17, 1815. The town was given the name "New Liberty" and had a "diamond" in the middle formed by four intersecting streets- Main, Second, Third and Fourth. The site of the town is now a field. It was located between Wills Creek and the present Ohio State Route 821 and former U.S. Route 21. When early white settlers came here they found an Indian settlement called Old Town near the mouth of Trail Run. The houses were built of poles and logs, they were lined with wild animal skins.
