The first land clearing in the Amherst area was by Jacob Shupe in 1811.  Shupe built a log cabin in this clearing, which is next to a stream he later named Beaver Creek. This original settlement was on a hill near what is now Cooper Foster Park Road.

 

Among the first commercial establishments were a gristmill, saw mill and several quarries.  Underlying Amherst were extensive layers of sandstone, a legacy from earlier geologic times.  This sandstone was responsible for much of the growth of the town for some years.   The quarry industry brought the railroad  to our city and stimulated the shipping industry on Lake Erie.   With their development many Swiss immigrated and added to the large numbers of German settlers already established.  The sandstone quarries produced a fine grade of stone used in many major buildings in Ohio and Canada.
