Lewistown (also Lewis Town or Lewiston)[2] is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in central Washington Township, Logan County, Ohio, United States.

[4] The area around Lewistown was populated by several Native American tribes resettled as a result of the Treaty of Fort Meigs.

During the residence of the Indians in Washington Township, as early as 1820, only few white men lived in the area.

Daniel Conley, "the pioneer shoemaker in the place"[3] and Hanford's brother-in-law, built the first frame house in the "village".

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the Lewistown CDP has an area of 0.77 square miles (2.0 km2), all of it recorded as land.

[6] Rennick Creek runs through the southern side of the community, flowing west 1.5 miles (2.4 km) to the Great Miami River.

As of the census[8] of 2000, there were 693 people, 255 households, and 193 families residing in the ZIP Code Tabulation Area (ZCTA) for Lewistown's post office.

When the school board finally asked him to choose between organizations, the future Baseball Hall of Fame member wisely picked the Dodgers, for whom he managed major league teams in Brooklyn and Los Angeles for 23 seasons.

Although he never coached at the current Indian Lake High School, its gym honors his memory as the Walter Alston Gymnasium.
