🎉 Congratulations to Tyler Cobb on 5 Years of Service! 🎉 Tyler serves as a Maintenance Worker with the Department of Public Utilities and has also previously served the City as a Code Enforcement Officer/Zoning Inspector. He enjoys the hands-on nature of his work and the variety each day brings—no two days are the same, which keeps the job engaging and rewarding. In his free time, Tyler enjoys spending time with his family. Together they enjoy camping, playing sports, and working on outdoor projects. Thank you, Tyler, for your dedication and service to the City! 👏
✨🔦Our May spotlight shines on Nathan Strawser, Maintenance Worker for the Department of Public Service. Nathan is one of two employees primarily dedicated to building and facility maintenance, helping ensure our facilities remain safe, functional, and well-maintained for both staff and the community. 🏗️🏛️ In his spare time, Nathan enjoys weightlifting, parenting, and coaching Little League baseball. When he’s not doing that, he admits he’s usually catching up on some well-earned rest. He also recently welcomed a new puppy, Halo —a Pit Bull who will be turning one next month! 🎉 Thank you, Nathan, for your hard work and dedication to our community!🙌👏

– Ted Lewis, a vaudeville performer who was well known for his top hat, cane, and clarinet and who sang “Me and My Shadow”, was born and raised in Circleville. There is a Ted Lewis Museum that exhibits his memorabilia.
– Caleb Atwater, the “Father of Ohio’s Public School System”, lived in Circleville for many years.
In January of 1810, the Ohio Legislature erected the County of Pickaway. On February 19, the legislature appointed three prominent citizens, David Bradford, George Jackson, and John Pollack, as commissioners to select a suitable county seat. For reasons lost to time, they decided on a densely wooded area of a Mound builder’s ancient fortification. The fortification was a circle and its adjacent square and the town were laid out around the center of the circle. An octagonal courthouse was built in the center of the circle and 8 streets radiated out from this area. By the late 1830s, the town had quickly outgrown the original boundary, and plans were made to square the town, which was completed in the 1860s.
