🌊 Spotlight on Employee Service – Drew Meenach 🌊 This month, we are recognizing Drew Meenach, Water Treatment Plant Operator, as he celebrates one year of service with the City of Circleville! Drew says one of his proudest accomplishments is returning home to work for the community that helped shape him. Knowing he is helping provide safe, clean drinking water to the residents of Circleville makes his work especially meaningful. When he is not at the Water Treatment Plant, Drew enjoys spending time with his wife, son, and family. He also loves fishing, hunting, golfing, cheering on Ohio State and Cleveland sports, reading, and gaming. If he could take his dream vacation, it would be visiting every MLB stadium—or spending a week in Augusta, Georgia, for the Masters Tournament. ⚾⛳ His supervisor, Mike Smith, shared: "Drew has proven to be a fast learner with a positive attitude and a strong desire to grow. In less than a year, he has completed three water treatment courses, passed his OEPA Class I Water Supply exam, and has become a valuable member of our Water Treatment Plant team." Thank you, Drew, for your hard work, dedication, and commitment to our community. Congratulations on your first year—we are glad you are part of the City of Circleville team! 💧👏

– 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.
