Lenape settlements
Lenape settlements are villages and other sites founded by Lenape people, a Native American tribe from the Northeastern Woodlands. Many of these sites are located in Ohio.
==Hell Town==
Hell Town, Ohio is a village located on Clear Creek, known today as Clear Fork, near the abandoned town of Newville, Ohio.〔Case, "Description of Mounds and Earthworks in Ashland County, Ohio," in ''Miscellaneous Papers Relating to Anthropology,'' 1883, p. 74.〕 The site is on a high hill just north of the junction of Clear Creek and the Black Fork of the Mohican River.〔 The reference to the village sitting on a "high hill" counters many popular misconceptions that the village was in low lying areas that would later be submerged by the daming of the ClearFork River to create Pleasant Hill Lake. Hell Town was located along a "war trail" used by Native Americans in the region, which ran from a point about south Sandusky, Ohio, north-northeast into the Cuyahoga River valley. This trail was later used by white settlers and is today known as State Route 95. Rerouted in the 1940s, a portion of this old road and war path are buried under Pleasant Hill Lake.〔Cherry, ''The Portage Path,'' 1911, p. 64.〕
Helltown—town of the clear water—was situated a mile below Newville, on the Clear Fork of the Mohican, in what is known as the Darling settlement. Helltown was abandoned in 1782, after the massacre of the Moravian Indians at Gnadenhutten and a new village (Greentown) was founded on the Black Fork, where a more favorable site for defense was obtained. Greentown was named for Thomas Green, a white man, who was a Tory, and who after aiding the Mohawks in the Wyoming massacre of 1778 sought retreat and seclusion with the Indians in the west.〔Semi-Weekly News (Mansfield, Ohio): 02 August 1898, Vol. 14, No. 64〕
From History of Richland County. By A J. Baughman. CHAPTER XVI. Monroe Township: William Norris, who lives on a 500-acre farm in "Possum Valley" also owns a fine tract of land which was a part of the original Darling tract, at the site of the former Indian village of Helltown, where the first bridge below Newville crosses the Clearfork.〔History of Richland County. By A J. Baughman. CHAPTER XVI. Monroe Township〕
