The story so far

from Wikipedia & the U.S. Census

Bucks Township is one of the twenty-two townships of Tuscarawas County, Ohio, United States. The 2020 census found 1,942 people in the township.

Between the 2010 and 2020 censuses its population grew from 1,776 to 1,942 (+9%). Half of its homes were built before 1983.

Wikipedia doesn’t have a history of Bucks yet — the old photos, dates and memories neighbors add here are how it gets written.

Nothing in Bucks is on the National Register yet

That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Bucks has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Ragersville School in Auburn, 4.4 miles away.
