Distillery Is One of First Industries

Newcomerstown News: August 16, 1964 - One of the first types of manufacturing that early settlers started wherever they went was a distillery. The area of Newcomerstown was no exception.

Even before the town was founded, a distillery had been started. David Johnson was the owner of the first distillery which was started about 1805.

All this land was known only as Oxford township, which in those days contained what is now Salem, Rust, Washington, and Adams townships, as well as some other land.

The earliest settlers known to come to Oxford township were John Mulvane, who came in 1804, and Joseph and William Mulvane, who settled a year later.
