About Nelsonville, Ohio
Nelsonville is a city of 4,612 people in Athens County, on the Hocking River. Daniel Nelson settled here in 1814, and the town became incorporated in 1838, choosing Charles Cable as the first mayor. Coal, clay and salt fed its growth, and the Hocking Canal carried its goods until 1869, when the tracks of the Columbus and Hocking Valley Railroad arrived.
The trains drew business away from the canal and turned Nelsonville into a major shipping point for coal and manufactured goods. Canal Street now runs where the old canal once flowed. In 1888 Nelsonville became the first city west of the Allegheny Mountains to light all of its streets with electricity.
- Morgan's raiders in 1863In July 1863, during Morgan's Raid, 400 Confederate cavalrymen under Brig. Gen. John Hunt Morgan stopped in Nelsonville and burned ten wooden canal boats. They also set fire to a covered bridge over the Hocking Canal, but townspeople put out the flames as soon as the raiders rode away. The saved bridge let Union cavalry, arriving two hours later, keep up the chase, and the soldiers found a feast waiting for them in town.
- The coal strike of 1884After many Hocking Valley mines combined in 1883, miners' pay fell from 70 to 60 cents a ton. The union walked out on June 23, 1884, and the owners answered with an even lower rate and contracts that would bar returning miners from striking again. Three thousand miners in 46 mines sat idle in Nelsonville, Murray City and New Straitsville. The walkout ran into 1885, and an Ohio marker on Public Square now tells its story.
- Prize-winning bricks in 1904The Nelsonville Brick Company began work on the valley's clay in 1877 and added kilns and stacks in 1880, making nearly twenty-five million blocks and bricks a year for the railroads to carry across the Midwest. Its salt-glazed Nelsonville Block, watertight and handsome, took first prize at the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis. The Depression and concrete closed the plant in 1937, but a few of the 1880 kilns still stand in Brick Kiln Park.
- Presidents on Public SquareStuart's Opera House, built in 1879 on Public Square, is the last fully operating second-story opera house in Ohio and is home to the Nelsonville Music Festival. Across the square, the balcony of the Dew House hotel served Presidents William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft and Warren G. Harding as a campaign stage. Both buildings joined the National Register in 1978.
- Boots since 1932Rocky Brands began as the Wm. Brooks Co., which opened in Nelsonville in 1932, and the company still keeps its corporate headquarters in the city. Its old shoe factory is now the Rocky Outdoor Gear Store, with three floors of boots, outerwear and other goods.
