However, stone quarries and sawmills were also in existence. As trees were cleared and ditches dug to drain the soil, agriculture became the primary source of income for early settlers. They found the township covered in a dense forest with fertile but wet soil.

Early pioneers include the Campbell, Feasel, Gabel, Gain, Garn, Havens, Hoffman, Ickes, Klotz, Lease, Long, Ludwig, Miller, Mowry, Overmyer, Shale, Stultz, Tyndall, Voorhies, Wilhelm and Witmore families.

Today the road is known as County Road 41 or the Greensburg Pike. Three other small towns - Winters Station, Havens Station, and Gabel's Corners - now exist in name only.Įarly pioneers, mainly Germans from Pennsylvania and southern and central Ohio, came into Jackson Township by way of Gabel's Corners, located on a newly constructed road. It is located in the southwest part of Sandusky County and contains the incorporated towns of Burgoon, Helena and Millersville. Jackson Township, Sandusky County, Ohio, was organized as a township by the Sandusky County Commissioners in December 1829.
