History
Big Beaver Township was established as one of the thirteen original townships in Lawrence County during its incorporation in 1849. Initially, Big Beaver Township included what is now the borough of Wampum, but Wampum became a separate borough on February 19, 1876, the same year that the Wampum Cement and Lime Company began operations. The cement plant was located outside Wampum in what remained as Big Beaver Township.
There were five schools in Big Beaver Township in 1875. There were approximately 266 enrolled students. The average attendance was 170 and the school term was seven months.
