History :

That part of the town extending from Mill Street to the present corporation line of Pomeroy, was laid out by Philip Jones, and incorporated June 7, 1855, by the county commissioners, who, at that time, were Thomas Smith, D.R. Jacobs, and Milo Gathrie. Several additions were subsequently made, and finally, December 11, 1874, what had been known for some years as Lower Pomeroy, was, by the authority of the county commissioners, incorporated with Middleport, thus enlarging the town to its present limits.
