Dublin Ohio was once the wild, wild west according to the Dublin Historical Society.
In "From Leatherlips to Microchips" by Scott T. Weber a chapter from the book 'The Faces of Old Dublin' tells of
Weber who grew up in Dublin shares this poem about early Dublin:
“Dublin, Dublin, city of beautiful roses,
Gouged out eyes and bloody noses,
If it weren’t for the solid foundation,
It’d be gone to hell and damnation.”
Rock throwing was common?
There's a story about a "rumble" between Dublin and Worthington.
The first non Native American settlers in what eventually became Dublin arrived in 1810 from Franklinton, 12 miles south. Dublin Ohio celebrates it's bicentennial in 2010.
Dublin is much changed today.
