Zanesville

By Kathryn Lynch and Michael S. Sims

Book Overview

Explore Ohio's clay city as Kathryn Lynch and Michael S. Sims guide you through the history, development, and quaint staples that make up Zanesville.

Zanesville is located in a geographically fortuitous location in the southeastern part of the state, juxtaposed between the Licking and Muskingum Rivers and rich veins of clay, natural gas, and coal. Settled in 1797, Zanesville grew and prospered over the next 200 years as a transportation hub and a pottery-and tile-manufacturing center. Known for decades as either Clay City or the Y-Bridge City, Zanesville retains its charm and small-town qualities through its architecture, neighborhoods, parks, schools, downtown buildings, churches, and numerous bridges that crisscross the city. As you explore Zanesville's historic past, you may find yourself reminiscing about earlier days and learn why so many people have called Zanesville home.
