Editing Dublin, Ohio (section)

===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.
