History of Hilliard Hilliard was formed in 1853 by John Reed Hilliard who was a resident of Piqua. He purchased two (2) pieces of land in Norwich Township outside of Columbus for development. Originally called "Hilliard's Station," the village was established to take advantage of the new Columbus, Piqua and Indiana Railroad which was planned to pass through this area from Columbus and continue west. Hilliard laid out 200 lots in a grid pattern parallel to the railroad. And although, John Reed Hilliard created the map and plan for Hilliard’s Station, he never actually lived here. In 1854, a post office was established in Hilliard’s Station and the word Station was dropped from the town name. The Village of Hilliard became incorporated on July 13, 1869 with a population of 280 residents, an increase of about 200 from 1860. Incorporated means that the village became an official town with its own charter (a description of the town’s rights, privileges and functions.) The economy of Hilliard was dependent in its early years upon farming which took place on the land surrounding the Village. Because the village was so close to Columbus (10 miles), the railroad brought some large commercial and industrial development to Hilliard. Among the earliest businesses in the Village were a warehouse built by John Hilliard in 1853 and a steam saw mill built by Ralston and Kirkpatrick in 1854. In 1892, a creamery was built on Columbia Street. http://www.northwesthistoryexpress.com/map/hilliard.php |
