Early Wayne County History
Clinton Township
Clinton township was named for Governor Dewitt Clinton, and was fromed in 1825. The first school house in the township was a small one room log cabin erected by settlers. A teacher received seventy-five cents a week for her services at the Newkirk schoolhouse.
What is now Big Prairie was first looked upon as an impassable swamp; it was soggy, wet, full of ponds, dangerous to cattle.
Shreve came into existence with the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne, and Chicago R. R. Named after Thomas Shreve, it was incorporated in 1859. Original name of Shreve was Clinton Station.
—Harry B. Stapler, The Wooster Daily Record, 1940-MAR-09
