HISTORY
of Concord Township |
William
Barber arrived in 1804, then Aaron Tullis and family,
from Kentucky, were the first recorded settlers in the
township in 1805. Concord Township was organized in
1807.
Concord Township, centrally located within
Miami County, Ohio, is crossed by the
Great
Miami River. The Miami-Erie Canal also crossed the
eastern side of the township from north to south through
Troy. The township's only city and the seat of county
government,
Troy
was first surveyed in 1807 and contained 87 lots.
Built in 1808 and the original meeting place for the
County Court, Troy's first log tavern was operated
by Mr. Overfield. That building still stands and is
currently operated as
Overfield Tavern Museum.
