The date of Longwood's inception was the same as that of Mead Township. Longwood had been formerly a part of Hixon Township and was named for the little hamlet in the township that got its name from a long stretch of woods in the vicinity. The Smith family of Rutland, Vermont, was one of the early settlers to the township arriving in about 1878.
