Six Native American mounds, built by the prehistoric Adena culture, were once located at Zaleski. Three have been destroyed,[3] but the others — known as the Markham, Ranger Station and Zaleski Methodist Church Mounds — are still in existence. Together these three compose the Zaleski Mound Group.[4]
Zaleski was laid out in 1856 as a mining community.[5] The village was named for Peter. F. Zaleski, a Polish-American official with the mining company that originally owned the town site.[6] Zaleski once had an iron blast furnace.[7]
Beginning in February 2014, Zaleski began construction on a public sewer plant project, making it only the third village in the county (after, McArthur and Hamden) to have a public waste facility.[8]

Zaleski is located on Raccoon Creek, a tributary of the Ohio River.[10]
