Centertown

Samuel Waldron was the first settler (1799) at Centertown. The first grist mill in the township was built here in 1805, and Samuel O. Waldron, a son of the pioneer, operated a sawmill for a number of years. David M. Waldron, the oldest living member of the family, still lived in Wolf Creek township in 1909. A post office was established at Centertown in January, 1840, was discontinued in July, 1842, re-established in December, 1843, and finally abolished with the advent of rural delivery. [1]
