Grounds of Remembrance

Don't forget that the Grounds of Remembrance dedication is Monday at Dublin Veterans Park, behind the Dublin Library. Community members have been working for years to get us to this point. While Memorial Day is for saluting veterans, we also need to recognize the people who have volunteered their time to getting this memorial constructed.

The dedication for the Dublin Verterans Park was excellent. Thank you Dublin for making this possible. As a veteran and the son of a veteran, our family appreciates this place very much. My friend, Ron Horton, who is retired from the Marines, came and liked what he saw. Thanks again for all the hard work the Dublin City Council and others offered to make this possible. Dan Coffman

    Dublin history lesson

    Peter and Benjamin Sells came to the area around 1801 from Huntington County, Pa., to buy land. Old Dublin was first platted in 1810 by their brother, John. Surveyor John Shields named the town after his birthplace in Ireland. The town developed the usual assortment of mills, shops and churches, with settlers coexisting peacefully with Wyandot Indians, who camped on Indian Run. The town gained notoriety in the mid-19th century, when a surplus of taverns and rowdy Civil War veterans gave the village a tough reputation. Columbus' growth and the construction of I-270 made expansion inevitable. Dublin achieved city status in 1987.
