Welsh in Central Ohio |
| Central Ohio Welsh communities date back to as early as 1806.
Some major Welsh settlements in the Central Ohio area are Radnor,
Granville,
and Welsh Hills. The very earliest settlers came from South Wales,
settlers later came from all over Wales. Because the Welsh were
so early into the area and the communities rapidly became settled
with people from other cultures, the Welsh language largely died
out. |
| The Welsh Congregationalist and Baptist churches in Radnor were
organized between 1806 and 1810. The first Welsh church in Columbus
was the Welsh Presbyterian in 1837. It still stands at the corner
of Long and Sixth streets, although it is no longer used as a church.
Just a few years after 1837, a group broke off from the Presbyterian
Church and formed a Calvinistic Methodist Church. These were mainly
settlers who had come in from Southeastern Ohio, which still has
a very strong Welsh influence. The services were in Welsh until
just prior to World War I. The Miami Avenue Presbyterian Church
was established in 1849 and closed in 1962. Services were in Welsh
until 1922. |
| In addition to the Welsh Society of Central Ohio, Granville still
has a strong Welsh settlement and community events help retain
the heritage. Radnor has the Radnor Heritage Society. |
