Clintonville

This community located in Section 2 of Clinton Township, was
settled in 1813 by Thomas Bull. The land was formerly owned
by John Rathbone for whom Rathbone Road is named. Its early
growth was due largely to a number of "mechanics"- carpenters,
blacksmiths, shoemakers and other craftsmen who purchased lots
along the Columbus- Worthington Road (present North High Street)
and established their homes and businesses.
Clintonville, named for the township, soon became a thriving
center of shops, schools, and churches. OnSeptember 13, 1847,
the Clintonville Post Office was opened near this site. It served
this community until July 14, 1917, when Columbus took over the
mail service and the post office was closed. As a suburb of
Ohio's capital city, Clintonville has been recognized through
the years for its progressive spirit and its friendliness.
