Description: The Village of Cedarville was originally laid out by Jessie Newport in 1816. It was known by several names in those early years: Newport’s Mill, Hanna’s Store, The Burgh, and Milford (because of the sawmill). Because there was another Milford in Ohio, the village name was changed in 1834 to Cedarville, reflecting the abundance of cedar trees in the area. The township of Cedarville was organized in 1850; by 1880 the village boasted a population of over 2,700.
