Dunlap

History

A large part of Dunlap was originally owned by William and Asher Williamson. They sold their land in 1849 to a Mr. Parker who platted a number of lots along the Colerain Pike and Hamilton Road. In 1850, Oliver S. Glisson, an officer in the United States Navy, hired attorney Thomas S. Yeatman to lay out a subdivision south of the village on the farm of Glisson's recently deceased father. George Struble built several of the first houses in the village on his farmland east of the pike. The village was originally named Georgetown in his honor. The first business established was a blacksmith shop. Asher Williamson kept the first store and George Struble the first hotel. The Dunlap post office, which had operated out of a cotton factory elsewhere in Colerain Township , was moved to the village. As a result, Dunlap became the de facto name the village. By 1894, there were two churches, a schoolhouse, several stores and industries.
