History :

The Village of Doylestown has a long and proud history. In 1812, Wayne County was formed in Northeast Ohio and Chippewa Township was formed in 1815. Chippewa Township is named in honor of the Native American Chippewa Tribe. These Native Americans were a woodland tribe and were considered one of the most important of the Algonquin family. President James Monroe provided the first deed to land in Chippewa Township to its first official residents, Thomas and Elizabeth Frederick. For 175 years Doylestown has maintained a rich and storied tradition…a tradition that we expect to continue for many more generations to come.
