Sadsbury Township
History
Sadsbury Township was formed in 1811 from Vernon and Summit Townships. It is a rural community lying southwest of Conneaut Lake and south of Meadville, Pennsylvania and contains 11,996 square acres, much of which is occupied by the waters of Conneaut Lake.
The first settlement of which there is any record is that of Samuel and Matthew Williamson in 1798. Dennis Hughs emigrated from New Jersey in 1802.
The old Beaver, and Beaver and Erie Canal passed through the Township and united a little north of the northern boundary in Summit Township. The Atlantic and Great Western Railroad entered the Township on the south border but only for a short distance.
