“Gradually the other townships were separated from these,” Shewalter explains. In her book, A History of Union Township Butler County, Ohio, author Virginia Shewalter writes that at the time of statehood in 1803, Butler County consisted of just five townships: Fairfield, Lemon, Liberty, Ross and St. In the beginning, the geographical territory we refer to as West Chester was wholly part of its current neighbor to the north, Liberty Township.
Just two decades after Ohio became the 17th state of the United States of America, a 35-square-mile section near the southwest corner of the Buckeye State officially took shape, forming what is now West Chester Township.įirst, though, it would come to be known as Union Township.
