We’re going to let you in on a secret: Dublin’s rootsaren’t really Irish. The story begins in 1802, when

Peter and Benjamin Sells of Pennsylvania purchased a beautiful slice of land upon the banks of the Scioto River (where Historic Dublin now stands)—including 400 acres for their brother, John.

Within a few years, John Sells and his wife came to claim the land. Sells and an Irish gentleman, John Shields, began to survey lots for the town in 1810. Legend has it that John Sells gave the honor of naming the town to Shields—who was reminded of his birthplace, Dublin, Ireland.

Dublin was incorporated as a village in 1881 and became a city in 1987. Today, our city boastsa residential base of nearly 41,000. The ambiance of that original village is evident in HistoricDublin’s charming examples of early 19th-century architecture. And, yes, visitors will findplenty of hints of Ireland. From green fire hydrants, quaint pubs and rolling rock walls to oneof the largest Irish Festivals in the nation—there is no doubt that Irish is an attitude here.
