On March 30, 1803, the
Ohio
government authorized the creation of
Franklin
County
, which was
originally part of
Ross
County
. Residents named the county in honor of Benjamin Franklin.
In 1816,
Franklin
County
’s
Columbus
became
Ohio
’s state capital. Surveyors laid out the city in 1812,
and officials incorporated it in 1816.
Columbus was not Ohio’s original capital, but the state legislature chose to move the state government
there after its location for a short time at
Chillicothe
and at
Zanesville
.
Columbus
was chosen as
the site for the new capital because of its central location within the state and access by way of major
transportation routes (primarily rivers) at that time. The legislature chose it as
Ohio
’s capital over a
number of other competitors, including Franklinton,
Dublin
,
Worthington
, and
Delaware
.
Prior to the state legislature’s decision in 1812,
Columbus
did not exist. The city was designed from
the first as the state’s capital, preparing itself for its role in
Ohio
’s political, economic, and social life.
In the years between first ground-breaking and the actual movement of the capital in 1816,
Columbus
and
Franklin
County
grew significantly.
By 1813, workers had built a penitentiary, and by the following year, residents had established the
first church, school, and newspaper in
Columbus
. Workers completed the
Ohio
Statehouse in 1814.
Columbus and Franklin County grew quickly in population, with the city having 700 people by 1815.
