Upper Arlington Centennial - Part 1
Tuesday at Northam Park from 3:30 to 6:30PM is the Centennial Celebration of the City of Upper Arlington, which was incorporated as a village on March 20, 1918. Founded by King and Ben Thompson, Upper Arlington was designed as a country club community, with its curvy streets that defied the traditional grid pattern (case in point - the Near East neighborhood of Eastgate and the East Side neighborhood of Berwick also had curvy streets in their designs around that same time). The Upper Arlington Historic District (everything SOUTH of Lane Avenue) was placed on the National Register for Historic Places in 1985.
