Background History
Circleville was founded in 1810 along the Scioto River. It then became the county seat of Pickaway County. The name Circleville comes from the circular earthworks that Hopewell Indians had constructed in the area, although redevelopments of the town destroyed many of those original mounds. The first courthouse for Circleville was built in the middle of the circular earthworks for which the city was named. Circleville was laid out in a circular pattern by Dan Dresbach, who founded the town in 1810. During the 1830’s, the residents became tired of the unique street patterns. In 1837, the Ohio legislature authorized the Circleville Squaring Company to redesign the community with a more traditional layout. The work was completed in 1856. Most of the native earthworks were destroyed as a result of that redevelopment. Circleville holds a place in history, not only for the unique style in which it was built, but also because it is one of the earliest examples of urban redevelopment.
Aside from Circleville being known for its industrial and agricultural interests, it’s known for its religious diversity. Circleville is home to a number of religious denominations.
Circleville is also world famous for the annual Pumpkin Show, which began in 1903. The Pumpkin Show attracts more than 300,000 people a year. It’s the 6th largest festive held in the US. And because there is no admission fee, the Pumpkin Show has become known as the “Greatest Free Show on Earth”. The Pumpkin Show is held during the 3rd week of October if you’d like to visit the festival and take part in the activities
