Name and history[编辑]
It is the only Kingston Township statewide.[4]
Kingstown Township was established in 1813.[5]
Marilyn Cryder of the Delaware County Historical Society sets the tone for Kingston Township in its early era: “[Native American] tribes were frequent visitors right up to 1830. The area was covered with forests. Settlers…coming into the territory established their homes in natural clearings and had to immediately set about clearing the timber. The first houses were one room log cabins and it was many years before substantial ones were built."[5]
Cryder notes that in 1842 Ohio Wesleyan University was established in Delaware City twenty miles from Kilbourne and with it came more traffic and eventually the railroad.[5] The rail was supposed to have gone through Kingstown Township. A 1907 map of Ohio Railroads shows the rail traveling along Kilbourne Rd.[6] The railroad was never completed, and never made it to Kingstown Township.
