How Woodville Township, Sandusky County began
Woodville Township was organized by county commissioners' order on April 1, 1840, carved out of the older Madison and Clay townships, and named, like the village of Woodville at its center, for Amos E. Wood, one of the new township's leading citizens. The first permanent clearing on the site of Woodville village was made in 1825, occupied the following year by Thomas and Harriet Miller, whose cabin became the area's first tavern. The village of Woodville itself, at the township's center, is covered in its own file.
Settled 1825, incorporated 1840, by organized by county commissioners' order dated April 1, 1840, out of the older Madison and Clay townships, with the first election ordered for April 14 at the house of Amos E. Wood.
Where the name comes from
Named for Amos E. Wood, a leading citizen of the township at the time of its 1840 organization and the same namesake as the village of Woodville at the township's center; the first township election was held at the tavern kept by his father, Ephraim Wood, on the property just east of the present village.
Before the town
Trailmarker Park, in the village of Woodville at this township's center, marks a traditional Native American crossing point on the Portage River; see the Woodville village file for that site. The 1882 county history adds that local tradition placed an old Indian 'beating-post' on section thirty-five along Sugar Creek, within the township, though it records nothing further about its use or the people associated with it. No source found records an additional Native village, mound, or treaty event specific to the township's outlying rural areas.

Timeline

Stories
Hog marks and strayed cattle
The earliest Woodville Township record books, kept by the clerk, noted indentures, accounts of stray cattle and the marks by which hogs and sheep were recognized. Sometimes the animal was branded, sometimes painted, but the most popular way, the county history says, was the sanguinary process of slitting and mutilating the animals' ears. The first election, in summer 1840, was held at the old Wood tavern east of the village, with three trustees, two justices and a clerk chosen, and the history remarks that, as no politics was involved, everybody had a good time such as only a pioneer tavern could furnish. The township was named for Amos E. Wood, a leading citizen, who died ten years later.
