Early Wayne County History
Sugarcreek Township
Sugarcreek was one of the original four townships of the county. Along with Wooster, Mohican, and Prairie it was formed in 1812.
The limits of present day Dalton formerly embraced three villages: Middletown, Dover, and Sharon. Their existence ceased with the formation and incorporation of Dalton, the latter done in 1856.
