TOWNSHIP.ORGANIZATION-PIONEER HISTORY- ROADS AND STREAMS-VILLAGES-CHURCHES.
Georgetown
(Dunlap) occupies
an elevated location in the northern part of the township. William and Asher
Williamson formerly owned the larger part of the village site. They sold it to
a Mr. Parker, who, in 1849, platted a number of lots on the Colerain pike and
Hamilton road. South of this is the Yeatman or Glisson subdivision, laid out in
1850 by Thomas S. Yeatman, attorney in fact for Oliver S. Glisson, an officer
in the United States navy; here his father, Thomas Glisson, resided. The farm
of George Struble was on the east side of the pike; be built several of the
first houses in the village, and when the time arrived to select a name,
Georgetown was chosen in his honor. The first, business established was a
blacksmith shop, opened by Thomas Gray, who moved here from Bevis. Asher
Williamson kept the first store, and George Struble the first hotel. Dunlap
post office, which was first established at Richards's cotton factory in
Colerain, was removed to the incipient village, but its popular name has always
been Georgetown, and will probably so continue. The village has two churches, a
schoolhouse, and several stores and local industries.
