Clintonville, Ohio celebrated its 150th birthday on September 13, 1997. Although the area was never incorporated as a city, it possesses strong feelings of community. The land which is now Clintonville had been United States Military Lands set aside for Revolutionary War soldiers as payment and pensions for their service in the War. 600 acres that later became part of Clinton Township were purchased by Thomas Bull, a Methodist minister, in 1813.
Rev. Bull and his family settled and began to farm the land. To deal with the isolation of the area and the difficulty in procuring goods and services, they built houses and shops along what is now High Street to attract "mechanics" to the area. The little hamlet near the center of Clinton Township became known as Clintonville.
Clintonville residents have always valued education, from the 1800s when one-room log or brick schools served the area until the present. There are currently two elementary schools (Clinton and Indian Springs), Dominion Middle School and Whetstone High School.
Whetstone Park, located along the Olentangy River, is the largest of several parks in Clintonville. The Columbus Park of Roses occupies 35 acres in the northern part of Whetstone Park.
Examples of several unique architectural styles are found in Clintonville. There are several Lustron homes. Essentially all metal, nearly everything in these homes is coated with porcelain, including walls, cabinets, sinks, roofs and gutters. Other styles include Sears and Roebuck kit homes, 4-squares, bungalows, Dutch Colonials and Larcombs, designed to meet the need for affordable housing after World War II.
