History

During the Civil War, citizens of this part of Washington County voted to secede from the Confederacy. They were unsuccessful in getting others to do so. The independent nation called "Bricker's Republic" soon was forgotten.[4] A Civil War battle took place in Telford on September 8, 1863.
