HISTORY
OF
TOWNS AND VILLAGES IN HURON COUNTY.
NORWALK.
ORIGIN OF THE NAME.
IN 1840, the Indian title to the land upon which Norwalk, Connectieut, now stands, was purchased of the natives in two tracts.
The bounds of the east track purchased by Roger Ludlow, as described in the ancient records, were "from Norwalk river to Sawhatuck (Saugatuck) river, from sea. Indian one-day walk into the country." For this tract the following articles were given, to wit: "Eight fathum wampum, six coats, ten hatchets, ten hoes, ten knives. ten scizers, ten juse-harps. ten fathom tobacco, three kettles, three hands-about, ten looking-glasses.
The tract on the west sale of the river, soll to one Captain Patrick, is described as follows: "Frem Nor- walk river to Five Mile river, from sea, Indian one day in country." For this the following articles were giver: ". Ten fathom wampum. three hatchets, three hoes, when ship comes; six glasses, twelve tobacco pipes, three knives, ten drillers, ten needles."
"The northern bounds of the lands purchased were to be from the sea one day's north walk into the country -- hence the uamne Norwalk.
The above explanation of the origin of the name is. in substance, given in Barber's Historical C. lections. Hall's Historical Records of Norwalk, and Lossing's Pictorial Field Book of the Revolution, aud perhaps should be accepted as conclusive; but it has always been a query with the writer, what the name of " Norwalk river" was at the time of the purchase. If it was then Norwalk river, the name Norwalk could not have been derived from terms used in de- scribing that purebase: if it bore some other name, it would appear singular that the "ancient records " should describe the boundaries as beginning " From Norwalk river."
THE TOWNSHIP NAMED.
On the 9th day of November, 1808, Philip B. Brad- ley, of Ridgefield: Taylor Sherman, of Norwalk. Isaac
Mills, of New Haven; William Eldridge, of New London: Jabez Fitch, of Greenwich; Ebenezer Jes- sup. of Fairfield; Guy Richards. of New London: Ebenezer Avery, Jr., of Groton, all of the State of Connecticut, met as the Board of Directors of " the proprietors of the half million acres of land lying south of Lake Erie, called the Sufferers' Land." at the court-house, in New Haven, Connecticut; and, among other business transacted that day, passed a resolution naming all the townships in the ". Fire Lands." In and by that resolution. township mini- ber four in the twenty-second range was named Nor- walk.
Taylor Sherman was the only member of that board from Norwalk, Concetient, and probably stood spon- sor at the christening. Hle was the grandfather of Gen. W. T. Shernian, who led that magnificent colin of Americau veterans on its memorable march from "Atlanta to the sea; " and of Joli Sherman, Secretary of the Treasury, who to-day stands before the parions as first of financiers.
ORIGIN OF LAND TITLES.
July 11, 1797, Norwalk, Connecticut, was burned by the British and tories ander Governor Tryon. 1 committee of the General Assembly estimated the losses by the inhabitants at one hundred and sixteen thon cod two hundred and thirty-eight dollars and sixty-six cents. Half a million acres of land in .. New Connecticut " was appropriated for the benefit of those sufferers, and those of other towns which had suffered a like calamity. .
The left hand column in the following table shows the name and amount of losses, in pounds, shilling- and pence. of each Norwalk sofferer. The right hand column shows the names of the persons to whom their claims were paid in land. For a more fall and par- fionlar account of the classification and payment of those clairas, see the general county history.

ORGANIZATION. .
At the commeteement of the year 1816. Nerwalk formil part of the territory of the then extensive towaship of Huron.
Early in that year, a petition for a separate er- ganization was drawn up and signed by a number of citizens, but how many, or whom, cannot now be ascertained, the writer having made a diligent search for the original paper among the public files without success.
In parsoance of that petition, at a meeting of the Commissioners of HInron county, held on the 18th day of February, 1817, the following order was made:
On the petition of David Gibbs and others we set off the townships of Bronson and Norwalk (being numbers three and four in the twenty- second range of townships in Huron county) from the lownship of Huron, to be organized into a separate township by the name of Nor- walk. By order of the Commissioners. Attest : FREDERICK FALLY, P. T
Frederick Fally, Ebenezer Merry and Bildad Adams were then the county commissioners, and Frederick Fally was acting as clerk for the commissioners " P. T. " ( pro tem. )
The two townships remained in that state of organi- zation until the Sth of Maren, 1820, when, at a mect- ing of the county commissioners-present, Joseph Strong and Lyman Farwell -- it was
Ordered, That towns numbers one and two, in the twenty-second range, be and the sam" is hereby annexed to the towusbip of Nerwal !:.
And that state of organization continued until, at a meeting of the commissioners of Huron county, held on the 4th day of March, 1829-present. El S. Bar- num. Robert S. Southgate and Amos Woodward, commissioners-it was
Ordered, Tbat township number one. in the twenty-secont range called Ripley), be and same is hereby annexed to township number uke. in the twenty-third range (ealled New Haven), for township ; ur. POSUs.
Ordered, On the pedition of Edward L. Con and offers, that townslaps numbers two and three, in the twenty second range (the first Bronson,, the second Fairfield, be organized with townships privileges, and that the same be known by the name of Bronson. And notice of ownship meeting on the Arct Mon Bay of Apen next, given accoplips to law. Moses KIMBALL. Attest : Clerk and Auditor, Huren County.
Of the townships bere named in parenthesis, the first should have been Fairfield, and the second Brou- son. but the record stands as cited.
Thus it will be seen that from February 18. 181 ;. to March 8. 1820, Norwalk embraced a territory fire milos wide and ten miles long, and from March s. 1890. to March 4, 1822. its territory was five miles wide and twenty miles long; forming an election precinet which polled sixty-two votes at the first elec- tion, as appears by the certificate attached to the tally sheet of that election. now on file in the county chek's office, which is as follows:
At a regular ciection of the eleetors in the township of Norwalk, at the house of Dame! Tiliten, in said Norwalk, on the third day of April, 120, for two justiers of the peace:
1 We do hereby certify, inat Euos Gilbert hal sixty-one votes: Samuel B. Lewis, forty five; Loke Regler, one, Alijah Comstock, seven, Aster Cole, oper and Joseph. Pierce, three, for the offices of justices of the pesce. =

AUDITOR'S OFFICE, HURON Co., Aug. 1, 1822.
I, Moses Kimball. certify the foregoing to be a correct duplicate of the county tax for 1822. MOSES KIMBALL, C. A.
·
NOTE .- The total tax for the county, including Brownhelm, Black River and Elyria, is footed up $1.659.06.
It will be remembered that Norwalk and Bronson were set off into a township by the name of Norwalk on February 18, 1817, and that Bronson was set off from Norwalk on March 4, 1822. This, then, s the first personal property tax duplicate for Norwalk town- ship proper, and shows a list of sixty-six taxable per- sons; but Batman, Underhill and Whittlesey were not residents, leaving the actual resident tax payers only sixty-three.
