Warren County is
divided into 12 Civil Townships as follows:
Adams, Jordan, Kent,
Liberty, Medina,
Mound, Pike, Pine, Prairie,
Steuben, Warren
and Washington.
Warren County was
organized March 1,
1827. Williamsport
wasn't always the County
Seat. The first seat of
justice of Warren
County was located at Warrentown, two miles up the river from
Williamsport.
The Legislature on
January 22, 1829,
passed an act for the relocation of the County
Seat.
On the second Monday
of June 1830,
locating commissioners met at Warrentown,
and after a liberal
donation of land
by William Harrison, selected the present
site of Williamsport for the new County Seat.
First settled in
1829 by Wm. Harrison,
J. J. McAlilly, James H. Buell and Thomas
Gilbert,
by 1849 Williamsport contained 100 houses and 400 inhabitants.
The Courthouse at
Williamsport was
destroyed by fire on Sunday, January 20, 1907.
All the records but those of the commissioners were saved.
