== History ==
[[File:Peter Miller House.jpg|thumb|left|Peter Miller House, built in 1830]]
Avon Lake was first settled in the 17th century and was, along with [[Avon, Ohio|Avon]], [[Bay Village, Ohio|Bay Village]], and [[Westlake, Ohio|Westlake]], inhabited by the [[Erie people|Erie]]. After the war with the [[Iroquois]] in 1656 ended the people were largely dispersed or integrated into Iroquois society. The area was then sparsely populated until the [[Lenape]] and [[Wyandot people|Wyandot]] migrated into the area in 1700.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Erie {{!}} The Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture |url=https://www.okhistory.org/publications/enc/entry.php?entry=ER002 |access-date=2022-09-25 |website=Oklahoma Historical Society {{!}} OHS}}</ref> The first European settlement in the area was founded in 1786 by [[Moravian missionaries]]. The [[Northwest Indian War]] resulted in the Indians in the area giving up all land East of Cuyahoga River in the [[Treaty of Greenville]]. Undoubtedly this was the start of European contact with the peoples in Avon Lake, who now found themselves in the [[Connecticut Western Reserve]]. Any remaining Indian claims to their land were removed after the 1818 [[Treaty of St. Mary's (1818)|Treaty of St. Mary’s]].<ref>{{Citation |title=Cleveland Indigenous activism |date=2022-08-31 |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cleveland_Indigenous_activism&oldid=1107713536 |work=Wikipedia |language=en |access-date=2022-09-25}}</ref>

Noah Davis, the first lakeshore dweller, arrived in Avon Lake in 1812 and lived in a three-sided cabin near the present-day intersection of Lake and Moore Roads for about a year. Wilbur Cahoon, the owner of the land, encountered Davis and moved farther south (on Davis' advice) in the French Creek precinct where it was not as marshy but more fitting for farming, in 1814.{{Citation needed|date=November 2021}} In 1818, [[Cuyahoga County, Ohio|Cuyahoga County]] drew new boundaries, splitting the former entity into two. The west part was Troy Township and the east part was Dover Township. Adam Miller and his family arrived in the following year, and the family has been here ever since. The Millers and others who followed mostly cleared land, sawed timber, and built ships in nearby Black River (eventually renamed Lorain), however Avon Lake's shorelines also had a number of sawmills and shipyards.{{Citation needed|date=November 2021}} In 1822, Lorain County was formed. Troy Township was renamed "Avon Township" by petition in 1824.

In 1915, Avon Lake separated from the rest of the Township of Avon to form the Township of Avon Lake. In 1960, Avon Lake was granted the status of a city.{{Citation needed|date=November 2021}} Avon Lake became a qualified [[Tree City USA]] as recognized by the [[National Arbor Day Foundation]] in 1993.<ref>"Tree Cities Ohio" [https://www.arborday.org/programs/treecityusa/treecities.cfm?chosenstate=Ohio].
