Worthington Neighborhoods
Jennie McCormick, (Worthington Historical Society, 2006).

Although surrounded by the Columbus Metropolitan Area, Worthingtonians like to think of their city as a distinctive community – retaining characteristics of the nineteenth-century village that was platted in New England, settled a decade before the city of Columbus, and serving as the market center for surrounding farms well into the 20th century.

This includes narrative histories and plat maps of twenty-three neighborhoods, and an index of ninety-two neighborhoods with their date of formation, location, and plat book reference in the county recorder's office.

Worthington's heritage is enriched by descriptions of a neighborhood arising from the arrival of a railroad or interurban station, the Episcopal Church developing the farm lot it was deeded by the pioneers for financial support, a neighborhood begun during World War II to house defense workers, a wealthy businessman developing acreage surrounding his estate, a community encircling a prehistoric Indian mound, a neighborhood with architectural covenants inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright's Usonian homes, and numerous others.

Soft cover, 65 pages. The book costs $12.00,  Ohio Sales Tax is $.81 and shipping is $3.20.
