The Pittsfield Township Historical Society is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization dedicated to preserving the History of Pittsfield Township, Ohio and it's citizens.

Pittsfield Township is the only Township of its name in the state of Ohio. Originally part of the Connecticut Western Reserve. The area saw its first settlers before
1813 but they did not stay permanently. The area then saw growth in 1821 when Milton Whitney one of the larger landowners in the area arranged for settlers to
move in. In 1831 Pittsfield Township separated from Wellington Township and thus the next chapter in our history was started (
Fact: Pittsfield Township gets its
name from Pittsfield, Massachusetts, the original home of Milton Whitney
). After separating from Wellington Township the residents of the newly formed Pittsfield
Township got together and formed our local government. To learn more about Pittsfield Township try checking out our local government's website
