Deavertown is an unincorporated community in Morgan County, in the U.S. state of Ohio.[1]

History

Deavertown was laid out in 1815, and named for Levi Deaver, one of the original two brothers that settled the town.[2] In 1840, Levi's daughter Matilda (d. 1858) married the future doctor, Daniel Rusk.[3] A post office called Deavertown was established in 1828, and remained in operation until 1957.[4]
