About Granville, Ohio

Granville is a village of 5,946 people in Licking County, set among the rolling country known locally as the Welsh Hills. The town was planned back east. In 1804 neighbors from Granville, Massachusetts and Granby, Connecticut organized the Licking Company and bought 29,040 acres in Ohio, and about 150 settlers reached the site in ox-drawn wagons in November and December 1805. They camped in rough shelters on the public square they had already laid out.

From December 9 to 12 the newcomers auctioned off the village lots, a sale an Ohio historical marker recalls as peaceable and honest. On the first day they also agreed to build a log school for eighty children, and it went up in January 1806 with oiled-paper windows and split-log benches. Later the railroads and the National Road bypassed Granville, so it never became a factory town, but its schools kept growing.

  • Denison began on a farmThe Granville Literary and Theological Institute opened in 1831 on a 135-acre farm southwest of the village, where students worked the land as part of their schooling. It was renamed Granville College in 1845, became Denison University, and in 1855 moved to the hill north of town. Swasey Chapel, finished in 1924 and named for the Cleveland inventor Ambrose Swasey, is its best-known building.
  • The abolition riot of 1836Many residents first fought abolitionists. A speaker named Weld was pelted with eggs and stones on April 1, 1835. At a large Cleveland group's meeting on April 27, 1836, mobs stoned the lecturers, shaved their horses' manes and tails and fought them in the streets with bats and daggers. Many were badly hurt, but none died. The opposition eased, and Granville became a backup Underground Railroad route, where Joseph Linnel and Edwin Cooley Wright hid freedom seekers on their farms.
  • Dry for a centuryJacob Little, the Congregationalist pastor from the late 1820s to 1866, campaigned against drink for 38 years, using his New Year's Day sermons to call out the past year's misdeeds and shame heavy drinkers. The Granville Women's Temperance League formed in 1873, and in 1874 the Village Council banned making, selling and drinking alcohol. Granville stayed dry until 1974, 41 years after national Prohibition ended.
  • The Old Colony Burying GroundThe settlers set aside a burying ground on their first town plan in 1805, on South Main Street a short way below Broadway. The first person laid to rest there, in April 1806, was Ethan Bancroft's infant son. The Old Colony Burying Ground joined the National Register in 2005.
  • Welsh roots in the hillsIn 1801 Theophilus Rees and Thomas Philipps, both from Carmarthenshire in Wales, bought land to found the Welsh Hills settlement. Rees and his son John arrived in 1802 after a stay in Philadelphia, and other Welsh families followed, leaving their names on the land. Starting in 1863, the Welsh Congregational Church in the village held its services in Welsh for sixty years.
