As this county nearly all within the old Miami Reserve, it was named after the Miami Chief and successor of Little Turtle, however, the sentiment did not prevail for any length of time and on December 28, 1846, the Legislature passed its first and only act changing the name of a county. Howard County is divided into 11 Civil Townships as follows: Center, Clay, Ervin, Harrison, Honey Creek, Howard, Jackson, Liberty, Monroe, Taylor and Union. Kokomo is the County Seat. It is located on the site of the Indian village of the same name and was first settled in the autumn of 1844 by N. R. Lindsey, J. Bohan, C. Richmond, J. L. Barritt, J. T. McClintock, B. Newhouse, and others. By 1849 it contained five stores, one grocery, fifty dwelling houses, and 250 inhabitants. These volumes are indexed, but do not include a Table of Contents. They are searchable. The first volume relates the history of the state, county and townships. The second is dedicated to biographies of its citizens. “To perpetuate the story of …people and to trace and record the social, political and industrial progress of the community from its first inception is the function of the local historian. A sincere purpose to preserve facts and personal memoirs that are deserving of preservation, and which unite the present to the past, is the motive for the present publication. Able writers have, after much patient study and research, produced here the most complete biographical memoirs of Howard County, Indiana, ever offered to the public. A specially valuable and interesting department is that one devoted to the sketches of representative citizens of this county whose records deserve perpetuation because of their worth, effort and accomplishment.”

Many early settlers were members of the Society of Friends (Quakers), who played an active role in the Underground Railroad. During World War I, Morrow County residents purchased more Victory bonds than the residents of any other single Ohio county. To honor this achievement, the Victory Shaft Monument was erected in downtown Mount Gilead.

Its regiments were amongst the first to take arms in defense of the South, and did not lay them down until General Robert E. Lee surrendered the army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox Court-house, Virginia on the 9th day of April, 1865. On that fatal day the remnant of the Doles-Cook Brigade followed the Stars and Bars as gallantly, fought as bravely, and drove the enemy as steadily as they had done in the past. Not until then did they cease to bear arms in defense of the South. The Doles-Cook bridade was composed of the Fourth, Twelfth, Twenty- first and Fourty-fourth Regiments Georgia Volunteer Infantry. This book is a detailed history of these four regiments. Col. Phillip Cook assumed command of the unit in 1864 after Brig. Gen. George Dole was killed during the Battle of Cold Harbor.

The village of Saluda is the county seat. Once a major center for wooden boat building, the village of Deltaville remains a commercial and recreational center. The town of Urbanna remains the county’s largest commercial area. A few years after 1666, the parish was divided into two parts: Christ Church, Lancaster and Christ Church, Middlesex.

The London Company covered a more southern territory and proceeded to establish the Jamestown Settlement in 1607. The Plymouth Company under the guidance of Sir Ferdinando Gorges covered the more northern area, including present-day New England, and established the Sagadahoc Colony in 1607 in present-day Maine. The experience proved exceptionally difficult for the 120 settlers, however, and the colonists abandoned the colony after only one year. In November 1620, a group of separatist Pilgrims famously established Plymouth Colony. Although this settlement faced great hardships and earned few profits, it enjoyed a positive reputation in England and may have sown the seeds for further immigration. King Charles granted a new charter in March 1629, establishing a legal basis for a new English Colony. The Massachusetts Bay Colony became the only English chartered colony whose board of governors did not reside in England. This independence helped the settlers to maintain their Puritan religious practices with very little oversight by the King, Archbishop Laud, and the Anglican Church. The charter remained in force for 55 years, until as a result of colonial insubordination with trade, tariff and navigation laws, Charles II revoked it in 1684.
