Beavercreek Historical Society
The Beavercreek area was originally a hunting ground prized by the Shawnee and Miami Indians. In the late 1700's, European Settlers started arriving in the area, mainly along the shores of the Little Beaver and Big Beaver Creeks. Greene County was formed in the early 1800's with the Beavercreek Township as the first county seat.
The Village of Alpha was platted in the southwest portion of the township in the 1850's with a milling center and manufacturing. This area was lost in a fire in the late 1800's, but is currently under preservation and restoration efforts by Alpha residents.
The area began more development in the 1950's with move of many to suburban living. In 1979, a portion of the township was incorporated and became the city of Beavercreek in February 1980. The Beavercreek City includes the areas known as Knollwood, Zimmerman, New Germany, and the village of Alpha. The township includes the area known as Trebein.
