History
In 1770, George Washington, accompanied by his friend and personal surveyor William Crawford, embarked on a journey down the Ohio River from Pittsburgh to inspect lands designated for apportionment to soldiers who had served in the French and Indian War. They are reported to have surveyed the Wellsville area, just north of Yellow Creek, and Washington noted in his journal that it was good bottomland. In 1774, the Yellow Creek massacre occurred near Wellsville when a group of Virginian settlers killed the relatives of prominent Mingo leader Logan, who was camped on Yellow Creek. Logan took revenge, resulting in Lord Dunmore's War.
William Wells and his father-in-law, James Clark, are said to have first settled the area in 1795 after the Treaty of Greenville. They left for a time due to Native American attacks but returned permanently to farm in 1797. Wellsville's first school and church were also established before 1800. A barn built in 1807 by the Aten family was moved to Hale Farm and Village in Bath, Ohio. In 1814, a turnpike road was built to Lisbon, Ohio, and in 1816, a post office was established with John J. Feehan serving as postmaster.
