History of Xenia
Xenia was founded in 1803 - the year Ohio was admitted into the Union. In that year, Pioneer John Paul bought 2,000 acres of land from Thomas and Elizabeth Richardson of Hanover County, Virginia, for "1050 pounds current moneys of Virginia." Paul influenced county commissioners to locate the town seat on this acreage at the forks of the Shawnee Creeks.
Joseph C. Vance was named to survey the site and lay out the town. The following year, he bought the town site of 257 acres from John Paul for $250. The name of the new village was chosen in typically democratic fashion. Vance called a town meeting to discuss possible names. The committee had considered several suggestions without reaching any decision. Then the Rev. Robert Armstrong proposed the name "Xenia", meaning hospitality in Greek, because of the fine hospitality extended to him in this friendly community. When a tie developed, Laticia Davis, wife of Owen Davis, was invited to cast the deciding ballot. She plunked for "Xenia".
The very first session of Ohio's General Assembly created Greene County from the Northwest Territory, embracing the homeland of the Shawnee Indians. Their chief tribal village was north of Xenia at old Chillicothe, now called Old Town.
William Beattie was Xenia's first businessman. In 1804, he opened a tavern which became a center of community affairs. In 1804 also, John Marshall built Xenia's first home. The first log school house was constructed in 1805, and, that same year, Rev. James Towler became the town's first postmaster.The growing community soon attracted many pioneer industries - flour mills, sawmills, woolen mills, pork packing plants, oil mills, and tow mills.
Greene County at a Trails Pace
The Little Miami Scenic Trail's passage into Greene County takes you by the Spring Valley Wildlife Area, one of the best birdwatching spots in Ohio. Take a quick ride on Main Street in Spring Valley and enjoy the turn-of-the-century homes or stop in the Spring Valley Mercantile Co., where you can browse through antiques while eating homemade ice cream. A few miles north, the trail enters Xenia, named a "Trail Town, USA" by the American Hiking Association. This county seat was once a railroad hub, and it will become a trail hub next summer when Xenia Station opens. Located on the site of an old depot, Xenia Station will house equipment rentals, concessions, classrooms, a visitor information center, and a bicycle patrol headquarters in a replica of a nineteenth century railroad building.
