Center Township is one the later communities making up Beaver County, history dates back to the earliest periods of the Ohio Valley. In 1774 all lands south of the Ohio River were claimed by Virginia and slowly through the Revolutionary War become part of Pennsylvania at individual times. Prior to colonial explorers, the native Indians of the area traveled the “Glade Path” a trail crossing the original township from north to south. Today we know that path as Brodhead road, named after the Commander of Fort McIntosh. Beaver County was formed March 12th, 1800 with three townships, Southside- Hanover, First Moon and Second Moon. In 1812, the area further broke into four townships, one of which was Moon the parent of today’s Center Township. On November 24th, 1914, Center Township, a sparsely populated area, separated from the heavily populated suburban section now known as Moon. This was the result of a dispute among Moon township residents in early 1914.

The town also became the end of a railroad line because of the lumber companies. Prostitution prospered with as many as fifty whorehouses in the downtown area. Prostitution was around until the late fifties when the police finally ended it. (Azerrad 12) The "lumber boom" slacked off a few years ago as "the economy fell and available lands were depleted." Now people are worried that the Northwestern logging industry will not be able to recover and Aberdeen "is marked for a slow ugly death." (Gilmore 44)

After the coal companies began to move into the area, they set up camps. Many of the residents who were forced off their land then worked for the coal companies. C.J.’s family instead had decided to move to the Justice farm, which was owned by C.J.’s grandfather’s cousin, Ermel. Ermel had relinquished the rights to his land, and the coal companies had not yet come for it. The residents that worked for the coal company lived in camps, worked for very low pay in “scrip” (company dollars) in horrible conditions, and ultimately had no other choice.

Apparently, this voyage ended his obsession with the sea, for he farmed his family's plantation for the next ten years. Gradually, his brothers and sisters married and moved away. Around 1750, his father died, leaving Marion to manage the plantation and care for his mother.

Keysville, Virginia, which is located in Charlotte County (Southern Virginia), was home to many citizens in the 1860s, around the time of the Civil War. Keysville was known for growing tobacco at the time, which was the number one cash crop in the town and also the state of Virginia. However, the tobacco industry and other cultural issues were drastically changed once the Civil War was over. You may be wondering, what does the period after the Civil War, also known as the Reconstruction Era, have to do with a little town like Keysville? Many people are unfamiliar with the repercussions that came after the Civil War and impacted the smaller towns in the South.

Seven Noll’s Article is essentially a history of the Ocklawaha Valley in the late 19th century, as stated in the article’s title, although it also dips into the early 20th century when relevant. This valley is “the water basin of the western portion of the St. John’s River Valley.” He makes it clear that this land is not a particularly hospitable one and that only with the advent of certain technologies would this finally change. This would parallel similar locations and events the world over, for example in the Scramble for Africa, where dense jungle would challenge explorers and entrepreneurs in turn. This period also covers the American Civil War and the period of Reconstruction, and with the Valley being in north central Florida it would obviously be important to Confederate strategy. Yet, it often was Northerners who would visit and attempt to exploit the natural resources of Ocklawaha.
