History
=Spring Hill=
Brush Creek, a tributary of the Tiffin River, rises near Tedrow.DeLorme. Ohio Atlas & Gazetteer. 7th ed. Yarmouth: DeLorme, 2004, pp. 25, 35. {{ISBN|0-89933-281-1}}. The creek is fed by a spring. The spring's clean water made the spot a favorite Indian campground and resting place in their migratory hunting excursions.{{cite book |last= Aldrich |first=Lewis Cass |date= 1888|title=History of Henry and Fulton counties, Ohio : with illustrations and biographical sketches of some of its prominent men and pioneers|pages=465–475|url=https://archive.org/stream/historyofhenryfu00aldr/historyofhenryfu00aldr_djvu.txt|location=Syracuse, N.
