James Daniel's Cabin

1828

Built near this site, the cabin of this pioneer Allen County Commissioner was used for the first meetings of the Bath Township Trustees in 1829 and of the Allen County Commissioners June 6, 1831. Daniel's land adjoined the original 160 acre townsite and the name “Lima” was selected at a meeting held here in 1831.
