Paint Township is located in the northwest corner of Holmes County. The northern part of this township was once a part of Wayne County until 1825. The Greenville Treaty Line runs through the northern part of the township. According to Holmes County Ohio to 1985, Reuben Pfouts first settled in the township in 1815, followed by Henry Lowe, Sr. and his brother Adam, Christopher Harrold and Caleb Lincoln, Jr.
In the early days of Paint Township, the land was one large forest, dotted with a cabin or hut and some cultivated land. Road travel was limited with only a few wagon trails winding their way through the heavily forested area.
