History
Six Native American mounds, built by the prehistoric Adena culture, were once located at Zaleski. Three have been destroyed, but the others — known as the Markham, Ranger Station and Zaleski Methodist Church Mounds — are still in existence. Together these three compose the Zaleski Mound Group.
Zaleski was laid out in 1856 as a mining community. The village was named for Peter. F. Zaleski, a Polish-American official with the mining company that originally owned the town site. Zaleski once had an iron blast furnace.
Beginning in February 2014, Zaleski began construction on a public sewer plant project, making it only the third village in the county (after, McArthur and Hamden) to have a public waste facility.
