<strong>Early Wayne County History</strong><br/>
 
Chippewa Township<br/>
 
Twelve years after the forming of Chippewa Township in 1815, William Doyle laid out Doylestown. The postoffice remained about a mile south of the town until 1874 and was known as Chippewa instead of Doylestown.<br/>
 
In early days Doylestown was renowned for its agricultural manufacturing plant. Her Cline, Seiberling and Co. made Excelsior and Empire Reapers and mowers, as many as a thousand a year. This was regarded as about the most reliable manufacturing firm in Northern Ohio, according to historians.|Harry B. Stapler|The Wooster Daily Record, 1940-MAR-09
