Ohio Historic Districts listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

     For Ohio there are over 3,700 listings in the National Register of Historic Places in Ohio — some individual properties, some entire districts. More than 475 of these listings are historic districts. Most counties have at least one district; Hocking County has three: Haydenville Historic Town, Hocking Valley Railway Historic District and Saint John the Evangelist Catholic Church Complex. Across the state districts range from native American campgrounds and village sites dating back thousands of years to a single district including thousands of suburban homes and scores of businesses built in the first half of the 20th century around what we now call light-rail, connecting to the urban core of Cleveland.

     In southeastern Ohio there are 63 districts, seven of which are native-American archaeological sites. Of the 56 other districts, only 16 date their historical significance back to the first quarter of the 19th century or earlier. Of these, 13 districts share palettes of architectural styles similar to the area of Logan we are studying, and there are similarities in the ways we evolved commercially, socially and politically, but each had an unique beginning and developed in its own way.

     Arranged below are small maps of these 13 districts, a few other similar districts and the proposed Logan Historic District. A larger scale version of each of these maps accompanied by some information about the city's historic districts should open in a new window if you click on the city's map below.

Some notes about the information provided for the highlighted districts:
To qualify for listing on the National Register, a district must meet at least one of these four criteria:
A. Properties that are associated with events that have made significant contribution to broad patterns of our history.
B. Properties that are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past.
C. Properties tat embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction or represent the works of a master, or posses high artistic values, or represent a significant and distinguishable entity.
D. Properties that have yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history.
For each of the districts highlighted, the criteria it meets is shown.

The numbers of buildings, structures, sites and objects in each district are approximate, since they will change over time with demolitions and new construction, and because some of the available data is inconsistent.

The boundaries for three districts are not yet available: Haydenville Historic Town, Cisler Terrace in Marietta, and Newark Downtown Historic District.

The boundaries shown were copied from maps available at the Ohio Historic Preservation Office's National Register District Address Search page.
