Jeromesville was officially planned and laid out in 1815. It was built near where an old Native American village called "Jerometown" used to be. The village is named after Jean/John Baptiste Jerome. He was a fur trader and one of the first settlers from French Canada.
Christian Deardorf and William Vaughn bought land from Jean Jerome. They then started this new pioneer village. At first, its name was spelled "Jeromeville." A post office has been open in Jeromesville since 1816, helping people send and receive mail.
