Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Norton Township With the problem of breaking overcome, it might have been expected that the soil would become tractable and obedient to the touch of its master but yet another obstacle had to be surmounted. The old wooden plows and those of cast iron that were coming in from the east and those of boiler plate that were made by local blacksmiths would not scour in the light vegetable mould after it had been stirred up by cultivation during several seasons. Various remedies were tried but without avail until it was discovered that a high grade of steel would clean itself. The first steel plow of which there is any record was made in 1833 in Chicago. The maker of this plow, John Lane, used an old saw - probably a worn out crosscut, - which had been cut and deprived of its teeth. John Deere's steel plow of 1837 was a real breakthrough in prairie farming. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Norton Township was named for proprietor and principal landowner Birdsey Norton, a wealthy merchant from Goshen, Connecticut. However, he never set foot in Norton--he died six years before the township was organized in 1818. Early settlers, the first of whom were James Robinson and John Cahow, carved their way through the wilderness to build on this fertile land. In its early form, Norton included seven small hamlets: Loyal Oak, Western Star, Sherman, Johnson's Corners, Norton Center, Hametown, and New Portage. Each hamlet had its own unique shops, taverns, blacksmiths, and mills. These communities were home to familiar local names like Seiberling, VanHyning, Harris, Miller, Oplinger, and Breitenstine. By 1961, Norton had become recognized as a village, and by 1968 its growth warranted the designation of city. Early businesses, local schools and churches, aerial views, accidents, and intrigue can all be found within the pages of Images of America: Norton.
