THE HISTORY OF HUBBARD, OH
est. 1795
In 1662, King Charles granted authority to the State of Connecticut allowing them to acquire three million acres of land. In an attempt to raise money for the schools in 1795, the State of Connecticut sold all of the land to the Connecticut Land Company. Within this year, Nehemiah Hubbard purchased the Hubbard Township property, and made his first sale to Samuel Tylee, a prominent Connecticut surveyor at the time.
In 1801, Tylee and his family became the first permanent settlers in the Hubbard Township. In the decades to come, the Township experienced limited growth, but displayed immense potential for supporting a community. The country-crossroads nature of Hubbard Township remained until 1861 when coal mines began developing in the area and took control of the markets. As the 1800's progressed, European immigrants migrated to the Township in hopes for a better life, quickly turning it into a village. As of 1868, population growth qualified the Village of Hubbard to become a statutorily incorporated municipality. During the City’s early years, the manufacture of iron contributed to the community’s prosperity. Hubbard also was home to two foundries, a planning mill, two brickyards, a furniture manufacturing company, two breweries, and a bowling alley. |
