History of Zaleski
Ancient Mounds
Long ago, six large earth mounds were built in the Zaleski area. These mounds were made by the Adena culture, a group of Native American people who lived here before recorded history.
Three of these ancient mounds are still standing today. They are called the Markham, Ranger Station, and Zaleski Methodist Church Mounds. Together, they form the Zaleski Mound Group.
Village Beginnings
Zaleski was officially started in 1856. It was created as a place for people who worked in mining. The village got its name from Peter F. Zaleski. He was a Polish-American official who worked for the mining company that owned the land.
In the past, Zaleski had a special factory called an iron blast furnace. This factory was used to make iron from raw materials.
Modern Improvements
In February 2014, Zaleski began building a public sewer system. This was a big step for the village. It made Zaleski one of only three villages in Vinton County to have a public waste facility. The other two villages are McArthur and Hamden.
