On the hill to the south beside the Great War and Trading Path, later the Federal Road, Samuel Henry, Sr., built a fort by 1792. The half-breed John Watts and 200 followers attacked it in August, 1793. Henry’s first mill was authorized in 1795. He also built the brick mill 1/2 mile southwest about 1815; it operated well into the twentieth century.
