History

As tensions increased prior to the breakout of the American Civil War, Chillicothe became an important stop for refugees on the Underground Railroad. Migrants to Chillicothe included free blacks, who came to a place with fewer restrictions than in the slave states. The name comes from the Shawnee Indians name 'Chalahgawtha', meaning "principal town." Plotted by General Nathaniel Massie on his own land, Chillicothe was the first and third Capital (political) of Ohio.

This was the center of the ancient Hopewell tradition, which flourished from 200 BC until 500 AD. In 1816 the state legislature voted to move the capital to Columbus, Ohio to have it near the Centerburg, Ohio center of the state, where it would be more accessible. It was after the American Revolution that most European settlement came to this area.
