How Richland Township, Belmont County began

Richland Township was set off from Kirkwood Township on February 24, 1802, and enlarged twice more by 1809, taking its name from the richness of its soil and the coal and limestone underlying it. St. Clairsville, Belmont County's seat, sits in the township's center. Long before European settlement, a hilltop just west of St. Clairsville and a 50-acre flat above U.S. Route 40 north of town were both occupied Native villages, excavated in the 1970s and 1980s and now on the National Register as the Brokaw Site and the Opatrny Village Site. The township's rural stretches also hold the George-Caldwell-Grum Farm, an 1813 farmstead worked by only three families across more than 150 years and remembered locally for hiding freedom seekers on the Underground Railroad.

Incorporated February 24, 1802 (set off from Kirkwood Township; boundary extended 1802 and 1809), by Belmont County commissioners.

Where the name comes from

The township was named Richland for the richness of its soil and for the coal and limestone found within its borders.

Before the town

Richland Township holds two of Belmont County's most substantial documented Native American sites. The Brokaw Site, on a hilltop about 1,240 feet above sea level just west of St. Clairsville off U.S. Route 40, was a small (2 to 3 acre) village occupied across the Archaic through Late Woodland periods, its residents drawn by a strategic overlook of an early trail (later the National Road) and by four nearby springs; landowner John Brokaw allowed excavation from 1972 to 1974 before the site's listing on the National Register in 1976 delayed his plan to strip-mine the property. A few miles away, the Opatrny Village Site, a 50-acre flat north of U.S. Route 40 near the Belmont Hills Country Club, was a much larger village of the Monongahela culture, a maize-farming, pottery-making people contemporary with the Fort Ancient culture elsewhere in Ohio, occupied roughly AD 1000 to 1600; a 1980 excavation found occupational debris more than 1.5 feet thick, though the site's full extent was never determined and much of it remains intact today. Neither site is tied by name to a specific historic-era nation such as the Shawnee or Lenape; both predate the eighteenth-century nations. No historic-era (post-1700) Native village or trail specific to Richland Township beyond the general county-wide picture was found in the sources consulted.

Timeline

  1. — Richland Township is set off from Kirkwood Township on February 24, taking its name from the fertility of its soil.
  2. — The township's boundary is extended south into Pultney Township for the second time, on March 7, fixing its present limits.
  3. — Travis George receives 175 acres of land from his father-in-law along what became Lloydsville-Bannock Road, founding the farm later known as the George-Caldwell-Grum Farm.
  4. — The Grum family purchases the farm from the Caldwells, becoming only the third family to own it in more than a century.
  5. — Landowner John Brokaw permits a formal excavation of the hilltop village site on his property, running through 1974 and uncovering Archaic through Late Woodland projectile points and ceramics.
  6. — The Opatrny Village Site, a 50-acre Monongahela-culture village site north of U.S. Route 40, is added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 21.
  7. — The Brokaw Site is added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 17, halting a planned coal strip-mining operation on the property.

Stories

A farmhouse built to hide freedom seekers

In 1813, Travis George took 175 acres along what is now Lloydsville-Bannock Road from his father-in-law and started a farm that would stay in only three families' hands for more than 150 years: the Georges, then the Caldwells, then, from 1927, the Grums. Local tradition holds that the farmhouse was built, or later modified, with features specifically meant to hide people escaping slavery as they moved north on the Underground Railroad, a route that ran through Ohio's Quaker-settled counties along the upper Ohio Valley. The farm's National Register listing recognizes both its unusually long single-lineage-adjacent ownership and its place in that history. Today the Grum family still lives in the farmhouse their grandparents bought a century ago.

Two villages under a coal county's hills

Long before St. Clairsville existed, at least two Native villages occupied the ridges just outside it. On a hilltop to the west, people camped and built across thousands of years, from the Archaic period into the Late Woodland, drawn by an overlook of a trail that later became the National Road and by four springs feeding toward the Ohio River; when the 20th-century landowner John Brokaw let archaeologists dig there in the early 1970s, what they found was substantial enough to stop his plan to strip-mine the hill for coal. A few miles north, a much larger village, 50 acres of it, belonged to the Monongahela culture, farmers who grew maize and made distinctive pottery between roughly AD 1000 and 1600 in the same general era as the Fort Ancient people elsewhere in Ohio; a 1980 dig found more than a foot and a half of occupation debris but never finished mapping the site's true size. Both places sit on the National Register today, protected in part by their own remoteness from the highway development that has reshaped the land around them.
