🎉 Happy 223rd Birthday, Deerfield Township! 🎉
Today we join in celebrating the rich history and strong community that make Deerfield Township such a special place to call home. From its establishment on May 10, 1803, to the thriving community it is today, Deerfield Township has continued to grow through the dedication, pride, and support of its residents.
As your fire department, we are proud to serve and protect this incredible township every day. Thank you to Trustee Lelle Hedding for sharing this great piece of Deerfield history and helping recognize the significance of today’s milestone — especially as it coincides with Mother’s Day this year.
Here’s to 223 years of community, service, and tradition — and many more to come! 🚒❤️
👋 Deerfield,
🤩 Here’s some fun synchronicity about today…
💐 Today is Deerfield Township’s 223rd birthday! And this year it perfectly coincides with Mother’s Day. These two celebrations won’t line up again for another 11 years!
🦌 Here’s our quick birth story. (It feels fitting for today, y’all!)
📜 March 1, 1803: Ohio becomes a state.
📜 May 1, 1803: Warren County is officially carved out of Hamilton County.
📜 Tuesday, May 10, 1803: The first county judges meet and officially establish Deerfield Township.
🤩 Early Deerfield settlements date back to the mid-1790s, making us one of the oldest continuously settled communities in the Northwest Territory.
🎂 Happy 223rd Birthday, Deerfield Township! 🥳 Proud to call this historic township home.
