==History==
[[File:2004 Bratwurst Festival.JPG|thumb|left|2004 Bratwurst Festival Parade]]

The origin of the name Bucyrus is not certain. It was given by [[James Kilbourne]], who laid out the town in 1821.<ref>{{cite book | url=https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_dt48AAAAYAAJ | title=The Ohio Gazetteer, or, a Topographical Dictionary | publisher=Scott and Wright | year=1833 | access-date=12 December 2013 | author=Kilbourn, John | page=[https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_dt48AAAAYAAJ/page/n93 109]}}</ref> One theory is that the name Bucyrus is derived from "beautiful" coupled with the name of [[Cyrus the Great]], founder of the [[Achaemenid Empire|First Persian Empire]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Bucyrus: "Beautiful Cyrus"|url=http://touringohio.com/northwest/crawford/bucyrus/bucyrus.html|website=Touring Ohio|publisher=Ohio City Productions Inc.|access-date=2016-10-31}}</ref><ref name=name>{{cite book | publisher=The Ohio State Archæological and Historical Society | work=Ohio Archæological and Historical Quarterly | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=T4QUAAAAYAAJ&q=origin+of+name+bucyrus&pg=RA1-PA17 | title=A Vision Fulfilled|year=1922 |author=Alfred, Maud Bush| access-date=27 October 2016 | page=17}}</ref> An alternate theory is that the city was named after [[Busiris (Greek mythology)|Busiris]], a city of [[ancient Egypt]].<ref name=name/>

The Bucyrus Foundry and Manufacturing Company, a predecessor to [[Bucyrus International]], Inc. was founded in Bucyrus in 1880. The company moved to Wisconsin in 1893.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20090326140347/http://www.bucyrus.com/pdf/Bucyrus_Timeline.pdf Bucyrus Timeline]</ref>

Bucyrus was once home to the Dostal Brothers Brewery. Founded in 1902, the brewery was run by John M. and George A. Dostal.<ref>{{cite web|title=Dostal Brothers Brewery – OH 21e|url=http://www.oldbreweries.com/breweries-by-state/ohio/bucyrus-oh-1-brewery/dostal-brothers-brewery-oh-21e/|website=Old Breweries|date=22 August 2013|access-date=2016-10-31}}</ref><ref>[https://archive.org/details/cu31924012523464 Internet Archive], pages 683-684.</ref>

The [[Lincoln Highway]], later US Route 30, was routed through the city along Mansfield Street in 1913. In 1971 a modern, limited-access bypass was built to the north, but the associated freeway links to the east and west of Bucyrus, replacing the old two-lane Lincoln Highway route, were not completed until 2005, nearly 35 years after they were first proposed.

Ohio Central Traction Company, an interurban line that connected the two communities of Bucyrus and Galion, developed [http://www.bucyrushistoricalsociety.org/gallery_articles/Seccaium.htmark Seccaium Park] at the end of the nineteenth century.

There was a notable landmark of an Elephant with a “B” atop the Geiger Clothing store (since demolished) on Washington Square. This was to promote Geiger's motto which was, “Buy your clothing here, for it will last like the hide of an elephant.” <ref>{{Cite web|url=https://bucyrusohio.com/great-american-crossroads-mural-by-artist-eric-grohe/|title = Great American Crossroads Mural by Artist Eric Grohe}}</ref>

On March 10, 2007, Bucyrus was featured as the town of the week on the nationally syndicated [[Public Radio International]] program, [[Michael Feldman's Whad'Ya Know?|''Whad'Ya Know?'']]. <ref>[https://ln5.sync.com/dl/0e9566bf0/3mmge78e-6v78i3nn-93tnbtqk-94t3eepe/view/default/9915014350014 Sound Recording ''Whad'Ya Know?'' 10 March 2007]</ref>

===Bucyrus Copper Kettle Works Ltd.===
Bucyrus Copper Kettle Works is a 150 year old shop that began operations shortly after the Civil War. Seasonal demand for apple butter kettles at the local hardware store led the owners to retrain the store’s tinsmiths as coppersmiths to produce kettles locally. A few years later, the partnership that ran the hardware store dissolved. One partner opened a new company on South Walnut Street where copper kettles and other products continue to be made using traditional processes.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.statenews.org/section/the-ohio-newsroom/2024-05-31/one-ohio-shop-has-been-producing-copper-kettles-for-150-years |title = One Ohio shop has been producing copper kettles for 150 years}}</ref>

===Swan Rubber Company===
The Swan Rubber Company was once the largest industry in Bucyrus, locally employing 1500 men and women, and having the largest payroll of any industry in Bucyrus. The Swan Rubber and Tire Company originated in Toledo on September 27, 1927. In 1929 the name is changed to Swan Rubber Company as tire production declined. In 1940 the company bought 30 acres along Beal Ave., the current site of the Bucyrus operations, until the facilities closed in the early part of this century. In 1950 the company began recycling and reclaiming rubber products, and by 1993 Swan became the largest recycling site in the state of Ohio. In 2001 Swan became part of the Tekni-Plex family of companies, making them the largest manufacturer of garden hose in the world.
