History

Much of this floodplain was originally agricultural land for the state hospital, but also included park-like areas open to the public. Much of the building space has been renovated for offices and research space, and most of the grounds has been set aside as open space, including a land lab. In the meantime, Ohio became a state in 1803, and Ohio University was chartered in 1804 becoming the first institution of higher learning in the Northwest Territory. The ensuing quarrel escalated into a battle on Washington Street, during which one guardsman was killed and several combatants were wounded. The sale of these lands funded the growth of Ohio University.
