In 1796, Poland Township was the first charted township in the Connecticut Western Reserve. It was settled by people from Connecticut, who were given land grants in the northeastern portion of Ohio, then known as the Connecticut Western Reserve, of which Poland Township was the southeasternmost portion, or Town One, Range One. The township was founded by Jonathan Fowler, who fell in love with Yellow Creek which flows through Poland. Fowler owned an inn near the river. The historical buildings of Poland can be identified by a wooden sign in the shape of Ohio, located by the front door of the building. The sign tells what the building once was.
The village of Poland was incorporated in 1866. It is also home of the Poland Seminary High School Bulldogs.
