Settled in 1833, Platted a Few Years Later
Cedar Creek Township, home to both Cedarville and Leo, was first settled in 1833. Cedarville was platted in 1838 and Leo -- originally called the Town of Hamilton -- followed in 1849, both along the St. Joseph River, with the two villages not formally incorporating together as Leo-Cedarville until 1996.
Foundations on River-Valley Ground
The St. Joseph River carved the valley Leo-Cedarville sits in, part of a landscape shaped by meltwater channels between the Wabash Moraine and the Fort Wayne Moraine, leaving the same silt-loam and clay-loam soils found across Allen County closer to the riverbank, where a nineteenth-century mill town needed water access. A foundation evaluation near the river or the Cedarville Reservoir has to weigh that proximity alongside the home's actual construction era.
