Letart Township was organized in 1803 from lands in Gallia County, Ohio. It is composed of a peninsula jutting southward into the Ohio River. West Virginia lies across the river: Jackson County to the east, and Mason County to the west. The name Letart comes from Letart Falls on the Ohio River, which was named for a Frenchman who drowned in the falls. It is the only Letart Township in Ohio.
