Named by early settler Herman Ely for the French province of Lorraine, its county seat is Elyria and its largest community is the Lake Erie port city of Lorain.
Of the first settlers, some men walked the entire distance from Connecticut and other places. Some rode in ox carts, some came part way by land, and the rest by water. Some came by sled in mid winter, some plowed through the mud of spring or endured the heat of summer. Thousands of primitive structures, covered with the bark of basswood and elm were built and occupied in the Lorain woods.
The first family to settle in Black River Township was that of Azariah Beebe, who came in 1807 as the advance agent of Nathan Perry, Jr., son of Nathan Perry of Cleveland. These people were from Vermont. Perry built a house a short distance east of Black River, in which he opened a store for trade with the Indians. The Beebes lived in the Perry cabin and Perry boarded with them. John Lyons, son of Ralph Lyons, was the first white child born in the Township (1812). In April of 1811, William Martin came from Pennsylvania with his family. The Gillmore Family from Massachusetts also came to the Lorain area in 1811.
Up to 1830 little or no settlement was made in the township away from the Lake. The unsettled portion was a dense wilderness principally covered with white oak timber. In 1833, a number of sturdy Germans arrived who made their mark on the township. Among the family names were: Feber, Baumhart, Friend, Bark, Haulkauer, Hageman, Hahn, Vetter, Harwick and others.
Heman Ely first came to the area in the early
1800s. It reminded him of the pleasant times he had spent in the Lorraine Region of France. His influence we felt when Lorain County was formed from parcels of land from Cuyahoga, Huron and Medina Counties. He donated land and money for the construction of the courthouse in Elyria, swaying the legislator's decisions to locate the county seat there.
