At the mouth of the Black River in April 1787, Moravian missionary David Zeisberger attempted a settlement of Indians but was ordered farther west by unfriendly Delaware Indians. On July 16, 1834, a plat of this site was filed by Conrad Reid, Daniel Baldwin, Quartus Gillmore, and Barna Meeker. The town, Black River, was incorporated as Lorain fifty years later.
