History & geography

History

Cozad was founded in 1873 by John Jackson Cozad, murderer, gambler, Ohio native, and father of painter Robert Henri. Cozad was often regarded as immoral among the citizens of the early town. He purchased 40,000 acres of land from the Union Pacific Railroad and laid out the future town. He built houses on some of the land to entice people to settle. He sold off most of the land to future residents who named the town after him. Cozad also founded Cozaddale, Ohio, a small, unincorporated village 25 miles northeast of Cincinnati. The city includes at least two museums: the 100th Meridian Museum and the Robert Henri Museum. The Cozad Downtown Historic District, an area roughly bounded by 9th, 7th, H and F Streets, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2018. The Hendee Hotel, today the main building of the Robert Henri Museum, and Allen's Opera House are also NRHP-listed.
