How Warren Township, Trumbull County began

Warren Township's first settlers were Ephraim Quinby and Richard Storer, who scouted the Mahoning valley from Washington County, Pennsylvania on horseback in fall 1798 and were struck by the open, already-cleared 'Indian meadows' along the river; they returned the next spring with a party of about fifteen -- including William Fenton and Francis Carlton and their families -- reaching the site on April 17, 1799. As a unit of county government, Warren Township was defined far larger than today: an August 1800 court order set its boundaries across a large multi-range tract, and its first township election was held April 6, 1802, at Ephraim Quinby's own house. That large administrative township was progressively subdivided as the county organized further townships over the following two decades, leaving the present, much smaller Warren Township surrounding part of the city of Warren, which grew up at its center. The township also includes the unincorporated community of Leavittsburg on the Mahoning River, named for early settler John Leavitt, who received a large tract in the township's original land apportionment.

Settled 1799-04-17 (Ephraim Quinby, Richard Storer and their party's arrival, following an 1798 scouting trip), incorporated 1800-08 (boundaries set by county court order); first township election 1802-04-06, by Ephraim Quinby and Richard Storer, who selected the site in 1798 and returned to settle it in 1799.

Where the name comes from

The township takes the name of the city of Warren, which the 1882 county history says memorialized Moses Warren, a Connecticut Land Company surveyor. As a unit of county government the township was formally created and named in August 1800 when the court of general quarter sessions at Warren appointed a committee (Amos Spafford, David Hudson, Simon Perkins, John Minor, Aaron Wheeler, Edward Payne and Benjamin Davison) to divide Trumbull County into townships; that committee's report set Warren Township's boundaries across a large multi-range tract, far larger than the township's present area.

Before the town

No Native village, camp or treaty event specific to Warren Township is recorded in the sources reviewed. The township lies along the Mahoning River just west of the city of Warren, within the valley the county's 1882 history describes as Delaware-occupied hunting ground used seasonally by Seneca and Mingo bands through the 1700s, but no source found names a site inside the township's present boundaries.

Nations recorded here: Lenape (Delaware), Seneca, Mingo (Seneca-Cayuga).

Timeline

  1. — Ephraim Quinby and Richard Storer, of Washington County, Pennsylvania, make a horseback scouting trip up the Mahoning, pass through Youngstown and the Weathersfield salt-spring road, and select land along the river's open, already-cleared 'Indian meadows.'
  2. — Quinby, Storer and a party of about fifteen -- including William Fenton, his wife and child, and Francis Carlton's family -- arrive from Washington County by wagon, becoming the first settlers of what becomes Warren.
  3. — The county court of general quarter sessions, meeting at Warren, orders a committee to divide Trumbull County into townships; the committee's report sets Warren Township's boundaries across a large tract spanning many ranges.
  4. — John Leavitt moves his family from Connecticut to Warren in the summer, builds a cabin on the west side of Main Street and turns it into the town's first public house; township four, range four had been drawn by Ebenezer King Jr. and John Leavitt.
  5. — A post office at Warren is first recorded; the postal-history list gives it as 1801 to the present.
  6. — The first Warren Township election is held at Ephraim Quinby's house; John Leavitt is chosen chairman and Quinby clerk.
  7. — Samuel Leavitt, born in Connecticut in 1756, moves to his purchase in Warren Township, which the county history calls probably the first house at the township's center.
  8. — Benajah Austin, a Leavitt stepson from Suffield, Connecticut, by way of Rupert, Vermont, settles in the township and goes on to serve as commissioner twelve years and as sheriff for two terms.
  9. — Henry Leavitt Ellsworth, a relative of the Leavitt family, travels to Ohio to look into family land holdings; his account is later published as A Tour to New Connecticut in 1811.
  10. — A post office called Leavittsburgh opens on March 15; its spelling changes to Leavittsburg on July 19, 1893.
  11. — The Warren Flagstone Company is formed, with Harmon Austin of the pioneer Austin family as president; its quarry supplied the flagging for Warren's sidewalks.
  12. — The Leavittsburg and Braceville school districts merge to form the LaBrae Local School District.
  13. — The census records 4,744 residents in Warren Township, including parts of the city of Warren and the community of Leavittsburg.

Stories

Indian meadows and a fortunate choice

When Ephraim Quinby and Richard Storer rode north from Washington County, Pennsylvania in the fall of 1798 to scout land along the Mahoning, they crossed miles of dark, log-choked forest before the country suddenly opened into what the 1882 county history calls the 'broad, sunny Indian meadows' -- open, already-cleared alluvial ground, so different from the tangled underbrush behind them that 'the promised land seemed to have been reached.' Both men made selections on the spot, Quinby taking 441 acres and Storer choosing land further down the river, and rode home with soil samples packed in their saddlebags to make the case to family and neighbors. Their enthusiasm proved contagious: by the following spring a party of about fifteen, including the Fenton and Carlton families, had joined them for the journey back, arriving April 17, 1799. It was on that same land -- cleared not by the settlers themselves but by generations of prior Native use of the Mahoning meadows -- that Warren, and the township around it, took root.

Leavittsburg, the village that never was

The proprietors of township four, range four intended a mercantile center near the Mahoning, and they platted a village with a public square beside what is now the railroad switch yards. The square stayed an open common for half a century and no town was ever started, because the open bottom and better mill sites further down the river drew business to Warren. For a time prospects looked fair: Samuel Forward built a sawmill and a few years later Richard Iddings added a grist mill, and the name Leavittsburg was adopted as a compliment to the three Leavitt families whose land lay around the square. The park was eventually plowed into a neighboring farm and no vestige of a village remained until the New York, Pennsylvania & Ohio railroad built two lines through the place and the present railroad village sprang up around them.
