History
Oldtown was founded on a site which had been home to one of Ohio's largest Shawnee settlements. White settlers first called the place Old Chillicothe, and under the latter name was it platted in 1839. A post office called Old Town was established in 1886, and remained in operation until 1902. The Great Council State Park, with a mission of educating the public about Tecumseh and the Shawnee, is scheduled to open in Oldtown in 2023.References
