County History
Early in the settlement of the country, the village of Alexandria was founded at the mouth of the Scioto River, on the west bank, opposite Portsmouth, which at the formation of the county, was made "the temporary seat of justice and courts ordered to be held at the house of John Collins". The original proprietor of Alexandria was Colonel Thomas Parker, who served in the Revolutionar War and located the land at the mouth of the Scioto. In 1799, his brother, Alexander Parker, laid off the town; Elias Langham was the surveyor. This was the first town in the county and until Portsmouth was laid out, bid fair to become the principal town of the county. Portsmouth was laid out in 1803 by Henry Massie, and named for Portsmouth VA, the former home of Mr. Massie. Owing to its higher elevation and freedom from floods, it soon outstripped Alexandria, was made the couty seat and its rival city was subsequently abandoned. The first permanent settler on the site of Portsmouth was Emanuel Traxler, in the year 1796. He built on the extreme west of the high ground, near what is now Scioto Street. Vincent Brodbeck occupied the place in 1880. The first child born in Portsmouth was the daughter of Uriah Barber, named Polly, and born in 1804. A frame courthouse was erected and completed in 1817 on land donated by Henry Massie. It was on Market Street, between Front and Second Streets. 29 Dec 1814, the town of Porstmouth was incorporated.
