History

The name 'Galion' was suggested in 1824 by a postmaster as a unique name when the city first obtained a US Postal Service office, because the name that was originally proposed would have duplicated the names of other requested Ohio post offices. It is not known for certain whether the name was intended to have any particular meaning otherwise, although several possible etymologies have been posited. Nave was a Chaplain in the United States Army and the editor of "Nave's Topical Bible," a widely-used reference work first published in 1896. Galion was the birthplace of Orville J. The first plat of the settlement, recorded in Richland County, actually gave the community's name as "Greensburg." A date often given for the founding of the city is 1831.
