City
of New Philadelphia
|
The City of New
Philadelphia has a history as rich and colorful as the valley
that surrounds it. In 1804, John Knisely founded our town just west
of the site of Schoenbrunn, a Moravian Indian missionary town.
Taverns and merchants thrived here as the village was a focal point
for travelers and settlers from the east. With the construction of
the Ohio-Erie Canal, New Philadelphia became a marketing center for
agricultural products and the canal provided water power for mills.
The coming of railroads led to coal mining and, eventually, to steel
and manufacturing. Some other important dates in New Philadelphia
history include the following:
-
In 1808,
Tuscarawas County was formed creating the rivalry between Dover
and New Philadelphia over competition for the county seat.
-
New Philadelphia
was incorporated Feb. 12, 1833 with the first elections being
held on May 6 of that year. B.M. Atherton was elected as Mayor.
-
In 1854, the first
railroad was completed.
-
In 1895, the
village was advanced to the status of city. The census of that
year listed New Philadelphia at 5,673 residents.
-
In 1898, the
public square was paved providing our city's first paved
streets.
-
New Philadelphia
Public Schools opened Sept. 9, 1900 with 5 school buildings and
an enrollment of 1,267 students.
-
