The History of Whitehouse

Various Native American tribes, including Miamis, Ottawas, Shawnees, Wyandots, and Delawares, occupied the Village of Whitehouse. During the settlement of the Village, many Native Americans traveled along what is now Weckerly Road to the “Dark and Bloody Ground” in Kentucky from Fort Malden, which is now Detroit. Settlers began to travel west to the Northwestern Territory after “Mad” Anthony Wayne’s victory at Fallen Timbers in 1794. Many of these settlers were of Dutch or German descent and were looking for good farming land, which the area had to offer. The Canal access also attracted many settlers to the area. More at whitehouseoh.gov/residents/history
