How Nimishillen Township, Stark County began
Nimishillen Township, in the east of Stark County, was organized March 16, 1809, and takes its name from Nimishillen Creek, which rises mainly within it. John Bowers of Maryland entered the first land in 1805, John Gans, a German Baptist preacher, and the Mathias brothers followed in 1806, and Henry Loutzenheiser and John Rupert in 1807. Speculators laid out Nimishillentown on the old Indian trail, later the Thomas Road, hoping to sell it as the county seat, but Canton won. Harrisburg was laid out in 1827, five French families from Alsace settled the township's Catholic community in 1826, and Louisville was laid out in 1834 by Henry Loutzenheiser and Frederick Faint. The township had 9,354 residents in 2020.
Settled 1805, incorporated March 16, 1809, by John Bowers, from Maryland, entered the first land in Section 32.
Where the name comes from
Named for Nimishillen Creek, a Lenape (Delaware) word combining 'missilla' (black alder, or American winterberry, a tree common along the stream) and 'ni' (stream or water) -- rendered as 'waters of the black alder.'
Before the town
Perrin's 1881 county history records that an Indian trail ran east and west through the township; John Thomas, with help from the county commissioners, had it widened for teams, and as the Thomas Road it became the first highway through the county, running from Lexington by Freeburg and Louisville to Canton. In the settlers' day Native people still roamed the country, camping along the creek during the hunting and fishing season; Perrin calls them inoffensive but persistent beggars for whisky. The township and creek carry a Lenape (Delaware) place name, Nimishillen, and Col. Henry Bouquet recorded the stream's name in his narrative of the 1764 expedition. The land was ceded by the Treaty of Greenville (1795).
Nations recorded here: Lenape (Delaware).

Timeline
- — First settlers arrive and establish Nimishillen Town before formal township organization.
- — John Bowers of Maryland enters the south half of Section 32, the first settler in the township, and moves his family there the next spring; in the winter of 1806-07 his son dies and is buried in a wagon-box coffin.
- — John Gans of Fayette County, Pennsylvania, a preacher among the German Baptists (Dunkers), enters land in Section 3, and the Mathias brothers settle on Section 14; a child born to Mrs. Daniel Mathias in October is the first white child born in the township.
- — Brothers-in-law Henry Loutzenheiser and John Rupert, from Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, clear land in Section 11 and build cabins.
- — Nimishillen Township is officially organized on March 16, with Jacob Shively, Jesse Fetts, and John Gans as its first elected trustees.
- — Speculators Pentecost & Scott have surveyor Daniel L. McClure plat Nimishillentown on the Thomas Road in Section 28, with a square reserved for a court house, to sell it as the seat of the new county; it fails because it is too far from the county's center.
- — The township's first grist and saw mill is built on Nimishillen Creek in Section 31; it is abandoned as the creek's flow falls; the eclipse of 1811 also alarms the settlers, some taking the sudden darkness for the end of the world.
- — Henry Loutzenheiser builds the two-story brick tavern, sign of the spread eagle, still standing in Louisville in 1881, the first brick building in the township and a muster ground of the county militia.
- — Five French families from Alsace, led by Theobald Frantz and including Louis Garrot, Jean P. Moinet and the widow of Joseph Badeau, settle in the township, the first Catholic French settlers in Stark County.
- — Harrisburg is laid out by Jacob Harsh, the first town in the township; its post office, opened May 18, 1830 with Jacob Wolfe as postmaster, is named Barryville because another Ohio office already had the name Harrisburg.
- — The township's industrial base includes one gristmill, five sawmills, two tanneries, and a store.
- — Louisville, immediately south of Nimishillen Township, is formally established by Henry Lautzenheiser and Frederick Fainot.
- — A Catholic church is built in Louisville on land given by James Moffit under a Dominican father from Canton; under its second priest, Rev. L. de Goesbriand, the congregation numbers about forty French, twenty German and twelve Irish families, some 400 communicants.
- — The Louisville post office is established on March 11 with Solomon A. Gorgas as postmaster; the town, laid out 1834 as Lewisville for Loutzenheiser's son, took the new spelling when another office already bore the name.
- — A joint-stock company of Louisville businessmen builds a woolen mill with a 35-horse steam engine at a cost of about $17,000; William Taylor buys it in 1877.
- — The U.S. Census records 9,354 residents in Nimishillen Township across 31.7 square miles.
Stories
A creek's Lenape name becomes the township's
Unlike most of Stark County's townships, which took the names of American presidents, generals, or hometowns back east, Nimishillen kept the name Native people had already given the land. According to tradition recorded by local historians, Lenape (Delaware) speakers combined 'missilla,' their word for the black alder trees lining the creek, with 'ni,' meaning stream or water, to produce a name meaning roughly 'waters of the black alder.' Early settlers who arrived between 1805 and 1807 adopted the name for their own settlement, Nimishillen Town, and it carried over when the township organized formally in 1809 under trustees Jacob Shively, Jesse Fetts, and John Gans. The township remains one of the clearest surviving links in Stark County between a Native-language place name and the land it still describes.
Nimishillentown, the county seat that never was
When Stark County was about to be organized, two men Perrin calls reputed lawyers but more properly land speculators, Pentecost and Scott, laid out a town on the old Indian trail where it had been widened into the Thomas Road, on the southeast quarter of Section 28. The surveyor, Daniel L. McClure, drew a handsome plat with rectangular blocks, wide streets, a central square for a court house and jail, and lots set apart for churches and schools, and it was shown to everybody from the east as the future county seat. The proprietors put up a large story-and-a-half log house with no sawed timber in it. The scheme failed mainly because the site was too far from the center of the county, and the seat went to Canton. The level, cleared ground stayed open for years, and young men and boys came from miles around on summer Sundays to play ball and pitch quoits; Martin Houser, a Revolutionary War veteran, later bought the quarter section with all of Nimishillentown.
Five French families and a cross
In the spring of 1826 five farming families of Alsace gathered their household goods, sailed from Havre, and landed in New York after six weeks. One family had a single five-franc piece left and had to stay in the city to work, while the others went up the Hudson and the Erie Canal to Buffalo and by schooner to Cleveland, living a month in a barn while the men looked for land. Their leader, Theobald Frantz, approached Canton from the north that summer and, seeing the cross on St. John's Catholic Church, declared that it was the first cross he had seen since leaving New York and that he would go no farther. The horses they bought balked on every hill, and in breaking them to harness Joseph Badeau was kicked and died within hours. Frantz, Louis Garrot, Jean P. Moinet and Badeau's widow settled in Nimishillen Township; his widow, working a clearing alone, gave birth in the woods to a son, Frank Badeau, probably the first Frenchman born in Stark County. By 1881 several hundred French families lived in the township.
