How Beavercreek Township, Greene County began
Beavercreek Township was one of Greene County's original four townships, organized at a meeting on Beaver Creek on May 10, 1803, and it briefly held the county's first courts before Xenia became the seat. Owen Davis's 1798 grist mill on Beaver Creek, the only one between the county and Cincinnati, anchored early settlement, and the township filled in with small mill villages - Alpha, Trebein, Zimmermanville, New Germany, Shoup's Station. In 1980 the built-up northern part of the township broke away to form the City of Beavercreek; what remains today is a smaller township whose southern edge still touches Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and the community of Trebein along the Little Miami River.
Settled 1798, incorporated 1803-05-10, by Greene County's associate judges, meeting in a log house on Beaver Creek.
Where the name comes from
Named for Beaver Creek, the stream on whose bank the organizing meeting was held; Ohio's only township of this name.
Before the town
No named Native American village, mound, or earthwork is documented as being specifically within Beavercreek Township's boundaries in the sources checked. The township's own history notes that the 1803 courthouse complex included two log blockhouses built for defense against 'potential Indigenous attacks,' which is the only site-specific reference found, and it does not name a nation, attack, or date. More broadly, Dills' 1881 county history describes the Shawnee spreading north and west from their eastern Ohio towns to the headwaters of the Big and Little Miami rivers, and part of Indian Ripple Road (which runs through the township and the city of Beavercreek) is said to commemorate that presence and the river's shallow riffles. For prehistoric mound-builder cultures and the historic nations of the wider Little Miami valley.
Nations recorded here: Shawnee.
Timeline
- — Owen Davis builds a grist mill on Beaver Creek, later called the Alpha Mill; it is the only mill between Greene County and Cincinnati, drawing customers from as far as 30 miles away.
- — Greene County's associate judges meet in a log house on Beaver Creek built by Benjamin Whiteman and occupied by Peter Borders, organizing Beaver Creek as one of the county's first four townships.
- — The county's first Court of Common Pleas convenes at the house of Owen Davis, then occupied by Peter Borders, near the present intersection of US Route 35 and Factory Road, in a 25-foot-square courthouse with two blockhouses alongside (one later used as the jail).
- — John Harbine settles in the township and, on land that included the old courthouse site and the Alpha Mill, builds oil, flour, and woolen mills and a distillery.
- — John Harbine and a Mr. Needles found the village of Alpha, which grows into a shipping point for tobacco and grain once the Dayton and Xenia Turnpike and later the railroads come through.
- — A post office named 'Trebeins' operates in the community that becomes known as Trebein, on the Little Miami two miles from Xenia; the settlement had earlier been called Beaver, Beaver Station, Frost Station, and Pinckneyville, and takes its lasting name from F. C. Trebein, who ran a distillery and flour mill there.
- — Eleven one-room and two two-room elementary schools in the township consolidate into Beavercreek Main school.
- — The built-up northern portion of the township incorporates separately as the City of Beavercreek.
Stories
The cradle of Greene County
Before Xenia was the county seat, Beaver Creek Township was where Greene County's government was born. On May 10, 1803, the county's associate judges met in a small log house on the bank of Beaver Creek to organize the county's first four townships. Less than three months later, on August 2, 1803, the first Court of Common Pleas convened at the same house of Owen Davis, then occupied by Peter Borders, in a courthouse only 25 feet square with a single small window, a smokehouse doubling as the jury room, and two log blockhouses standing guard - a reminder that the frontier was still considered unsafe. One of those blockhouses was later pressed into service as the county jail. The site sits near today's intersection of US Route 35 and Factory Road.
The mill that pulled people thirty miles
In 1798, five years before the township even had a name, Owen Davis built a grist mill on Beaver Creek that became known as the Alpha Mill. It was the only mill of its kind between Greene County and Cincinnati, so farmers rode as far as thirty miles to have their grain ground there. Three decades later John Harbine bought the property, added flour, oil, and woolen mills plus a distillery, and in 1854 he and a partner named Needles laid out the village of Alpha around the works. Turnpikes and then two railroads followed the mill trade through Alpha, turning a millsite into a shipping point for tobacco and grain before it was folded into the city of Beavercreek in the 20th century.
A village with five names
The Little Miami River hamlet now called Trebein has answered to more names than almost any other place in Greene County: Beaver, Beaver Station, Frost Station, Pinckneyville (spelled several ways), and finally Trebein, after F. C. Trebein, who ran a distillery and a flour mill there. The post office, opened as 'Trebeins' in 1878, closed in 1910, but the name stuck to the crossroads even after the office did not. A former schoolhouse still stands on Trebein Road, since converted to apartments.
