KILLBUCK JEEP JAMBOREE

The first American settlers arrived to the banks of Killbuck Creek in the early 1800’s. Farms quickly began to flourish in this fertile area and word rapidly spread. Trading posts emerged, railroads were built and with a connection to the Ohio Erie Canal, small villages were soon booming with trade. Undergoing several name changes over the years, the village of Killbuck wasn’t officially named and incorporated until 1882. It was named in honor of a Lanape Native who was loyal to American Soldiers during and after the Revolutionary War.
