===Native Americans===
Native Americans from the [[Hopewell tradition|Hopewell]], [[Adena culture|Adena]], [[Lenape|Delaware]], [[Shawnee]], and [[Wyandot people|Wyandot]] were among the first known inhabitants of the countryside that was to become Dublin, Ohio.

The Wyandot had moved to the Ohio countryside after being decimated by disease and a disastrous war with the Five Nations of the [[Iroquois]] in their homeland near Georgian Bay. In 1794, [[General Anthony Wayne]] defeated the Wyandot and other Ohio American Indian peoples at the Battle of Fallen Timbers, leading to the Wyandot surrendering most of their land in Ohio with the signing of the [[Treaty of Greenville]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Wyandot Indians - Ohio History Central|url=https://ohiohistorycentral.org/w/Wyandot_Indians|access-date=2021-10-13|website=ohiohistorycentral.org|language=en}}</ref>

Chief Shateyaronyah, an important leader known to locals as "[[Leatherlips]]",<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=Leatherlips {{!}} Shateyaronyah {{!}} Wyandot {{!}} Ohio |url=http://touringohio.com/history/leatherlips.html |access-date=2022-04-26 |website=touringohio.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Dublin Ohio|url=http://touringohio.com/central/franklin/dublin/dublin.html|access-date=2021-10-13|website=touringohio.com}}</ref> had signed the Treaty of Greenville on August 3, 1795, and encouraged cooperation with white settlers near the end of his life. That policy of accommodating Europeans led to conflict with a movement led by two Shawnee brothers, [[Tecumseh]] and [[Tenskwatawa]] (The Prophet). Tenskwatawa reacted strongly against Leatherlips and condemned him to death for signing away native lands, and for "witchcraft". More likely was that this was for his refusal to join the Shawnee. Rather than break the pledge that he signed in 1795, Leatherlips was killed in 1810.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Leatherlips – Wyandotte Nation|url=http://wyandotte-nation.org/culture/history/biographies/leatherlips/|access-date=2021-10-13|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=2016-11-17|title=Leatherlips Story Lives on Through Local Legend|url=https://columbusneighborhoods.org/story/leatherlips-story-lives-on-through-local-legend/|access-date=2021-10-13|website=Columbus Neighborhoods|language=en-US}}</ref> The Leatherlips sculpture in Scioto Park was created to honor Chief Shateyaronyah in 1990.<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.visitdublinohio.com/listing/scioto-park/383/|title = Scioto Park}}</ref>

After the [[American Revolutionary War|Revolutionary War]], the United States Government gave {{convert|2000|acres}} of land along the Scioto River to Lieutenant James Holt as payment for his service. In 1802, Peter and Benjamin Sells from [[Huntingdon, Pennsylvania]], purchased {{convert|400|acres}} of this land for their brother, John. The site of the John Sells' original purchase is known as Historic Dublin.<ref>{{Cite web |title=History - Dublin Chamber of Commerce, OH |url=https://dublinchamber.org/history#:~:text=In%201802,%20Pennsylvanians%20Peter%20and%20Benjamin%20Sells%20purchased,family%20traveled%20to%20Ohio%20to%20claim%20the%20land. |access-date=2024-06-15 |website=dublinchamber.org}}</ref>

===Post-Ohio statehood===
In 1808, John Sells brought his family to the region, and by 1810, he had begun to survey lots for the new village with his business partner, an Irish gentleman named John Shields. According to historians, Shields is responsible for naming the town after his birthplace:
{{blockquote|text="If I have the honor conferred upon me to name your village, with the brightness of the morn, and the beaming of the sun on the hills and dales surrounding this beautiful valley, it would give me great pleasure to name your new town after my birthplace, [[Dublin]], Ireland."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ohiomagazine.com/Main/Articles/Green_All_Over_3461.aspx |title=Green All Over |access-date=2011-06-08 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110312105926/http://www.ohiomagazine.com/Main/Articles/Green_All_Over_3461.aspx |archive-date=March 12, 2011 |df=mdy }}</ref>}}

In 1833, Dublin contained several mills and one store,<ref>{{cite book | url=https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_dt48AAAAYAAJ | title=The Ohio Gazetteer, or, a Topographical Dictionary | publisher=Scott and Wright | date=1833 | access-date=December 12, 2013 | author=Kilbourn, John | pages=[https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_dt48AAAAYAAJ/page/n167 183]}}</ref> and was incorporated in 1881.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.dublinchamber.org/history#:~:text=Dublin%20was%20incorporated%20in%201881,of%20life%20within%20the%20community.|title=History - Dublin Chamber of Commerce, OH}}</ref>

In 1970, Dublin was still a small town with only 681 residents. However, the construction of [[Interstate 270 (Ohio)|Interstate 270]] facilitated a population boom, spearheaded by the acquisition of major corporate headquarters such as [[Ashland Inc]] and [[Wendy's|Wendy's International]]. In addition, the growth of the [[Muirfield Village]] Golf Club and its residential [[Subdivision (land)|subdivision]] attracted people to the rapidly growing [[suburb]]. It was then officially declared a [[city]] in August 1987, after reaching a population of 5,000 residents.{{citation needed|date=July 2022}} As part of this boom Dublin significantly expanded its area, annexing parts of [[Washington Township, Franklin County, Ohio|Washington]], [[Perry Township, Franklin County, Ohio|Perry]], [[Concord Township, Delaware County, Ohio|Concord]], and [[Jerome Township, Union County, Ohio|Jerome]] townships.

In 2020, the city began redeveloping the Bridge Street District. The {{convert|1100|acre|adj=on}} project includes 400 apartments and [[Condominium (living space)|condominiums]], retail, offices, and other space along the [[Scioto River]].<ref name="wosu">{{cite web|last=Holmes|first=Debbie|title=Dublin Opens $22 Million Pedestrian Bridge Over Scioto River|work=WOSU Public Media|url= https://radio.wosu.org/post/dublin-opens-22-million-pedestrian-bridge-over-scioto-river#stream/0|date=March 5, 2020|access-date=March 13, 2020}}</ref> During a survey for the new Wexner Medical Center, an [[African Americans|African-American]] cemetery was discovered.
