     Up to the early part of the year 1799 all the country between the Little Miami River and Elk River (Eagle Creek) was a part of Hamilton County, and called Anderson township; but in the latter part of that year it was divided into two townships, called Washington and Deerfield, the latter embracing the northern part of the present county, with the southern portion of Warren County, and the former including the southern and central parts of all the territory, now in Clermont and Brown Counties, between the Little Miami River and Eagle Creek.
