Delhi

Autor Christine Mersch Den Herder
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 sep 2005
Expeditions led by John Cleves Symmes in 1788 brought the first settlers to the Delhi area. But the township really came to life in 1817, when the Ohio legislature passed a bill to name the area "Del High." There are many speculations about the origin of this name, but the true answer has been lost to history. Many farms sprouted up in Delhi, as well as
nearly 60 greenhouses, but only about a half-dozen remain today. As the greenhouses and farms grew, so did the population. Schools, churches, and businesses were built, and in 1829, the Sisters of Charity was established. Residents of Delhi survived the Cholera epidemic of the mid-19th century and three major tornadoes. Delhi citizens
are devout, and many continue to live in the same area in which they were born.

Notă biografică

Through almost 200 vintage photographs, drawings, and advertisements, author Christine Mersch takes readers on a trip back in time to see how local families lived, worked, played, and prayed in this suburb on the Westside. Mersch, a journalist in Cincinnati, Ohio, has lived on the Westside of Cincinnati her entire life. She is a member of the Delhi Historical Society, who supported her in this endeavor.
