Welcome to Dublin, Ohio Where

Irish is an Attitude.

n Dublin, everyone’s just a little Irish. We call it Irish attitude. It’s not something you’re born with; it’s something you cultivate when you visit our friendly city. Maybe you catch it during the annual Dublin Irish Festival or while playing 18 holes on our British Isles inspired golf courses. Or maybe you taste it in an Irish egg roll, a freshly baked scone or one of the signature dishes at our restaurants. It might not show up until after you’ve returned home—as you weave a tall tale about your visit to the #1 Zoo in the nation (Columbus Zoo and Aquarium) or your wild ride down the water slides at Zoombezi Bay. But one thing is certain: you’ll catch the Irish spirit when you’re here. And you’ll look forward to the day when you can return. You don’t need Irish in your blood. Just in your soul.

A Tale of an Irish Surveyor

History ike any good Irish story, our city’s tale was inspired by a little known working man with a deep love of his homeland. Dublin’s story begins in 1802, when Peter and Benjamin Sells of Pennsylvania purchased a beautiful slice of land upon the banks of the Scioto River (where Historic Dublin now stands)— including 400 acres for their brother, John.

Within a few years, John Sells and his wife came to claim the land. Sells and an Irish gentleman, John Shields, began to survey lots for the town in 1810. Legend has it that John Sells gave the honor of naming the town to Shields—who saw the beaming sun on the hills and dales

surrounding the valley and became nostalgic for his birthplace, Dublin, Ireland. Dublin, Ohio was incorporated as a village in 1881 and became a city in 1987. Today, more than 41,000 residents call Dublin home. The ambiance of that original village is still evident in Historic Dublin’s charming examples of early 19th-century architecture, rolling rock walls and meandering brick sidewalks. Although our roots may not be truly Irish, visitors will find plenty of hints of Ireland. From rolling golf courses and quaint pubs to one of the largest Irish Festivals in the nation—there is no doubt that Irish is an attitude here. Hats off to you, Mr. Shields. Sláinte!

We conducted a survey of many of our visitors and asked: “When you think of Dublin, Ohio … what comes to mind?” This word cloud offers a fun illustration of their answers (with the most frequently repeated words appearing LARGEST).
