History
The Green Springs area was originally inhabited by the Kaskaskia and Miami Nation.
On September 29, 1817, the Seneca whom had been displaced from their native lands in New York signed the Treaty of Fort Meigs, which established the 40,000 acre Seneca Indian Reservation and a $500 annuity. But on February 28, 1831, as part of the Treaty of Little Sandusky the Seneca agreed to relinquish their 40,000 acres in Ohio in exchange for 67,000 acres west of the Mississippi River and other provisions including a 5% annuity on the balance of the proceeds from the sale of the land in Ohio. This was part of the larger Indian Removal developed by the administration of Andrew Jackson.
In 1831, Jacob Stem, the founder of Green Springs, bought the land from the government. He purchased about 1,200 acres (4.9 km2) within Sandusky and Seneca counties, including the sulfur spring. The village was originally called Stemtown, named after the founder. It was later called Green Springs, named from the color of the water from the spring.
