History
The village was originally named "Moccasin" by early Pennsylvania settlers, and it originated in 1846. Orvil Grant (1835-1881), brother of Ulysses S. Grant, was an early settler of the town and named it Galena after the Grants' family home in Galena, Illinois. The village was incorporated in 1886 and renamed in honor of an early settler, Thomas Ephrim Rarden. Five years later on January 10, 1891, Rarden Township became a separate entity from Brush Creek Township.
A 22-room Victorian mansion was built in Rarden in 1899 by the owner of the Taylor Stone Company, Lafe Taylor, a businessman and political leader. Throughout the years, the house was used as a residence, hotel, boarding house, nursing home, and local haunted house attraction.
