Xenia (pronounced Zeen-yuh) is a city in the U.S. state of Ohio and the county seat of Greene County.GR 6 The municipality is located in southwestern Ohio 21 miles from Dayton and is part of the Dayton Metropolitan Statistical Area. The name comes from the Greek word Xenia ('ξενία'), which means 'hospitality'. Many of its residents supported the Underground Railroad in the years before the Civil War.

As of the 2000 census, the city had a population of 24,164.

History

Xenia was founded in 1803, the year Ohio was admitted into the Union. In that year, pioneer John Paul bought 2,000 acres (8 km²) of land from Thomas and Elizabeth Richardson of Hanover County, Virginia, for '1050 pounds current moneys of Virginia.' Paul influenced county commissioners to locate the town seat on this land at the forks of the Shawnee Creeks.

Joseph C. Vance was named to survey the site and lay out the town. The following year, he bought the town site of convert 257 acre km2 from John Paul for $250. The name of the new village was chosen in typically democratic fashion. Vance called a town meeting to discuss possible names. The committee had considered several suggestions without reaching any decision. Then the Rev. Robert Armstrong proposed the name 'Xenia,' meaning 'hospitality' in Greek, because of the fine hospitality extended to him in this friendly community. When a tie developed, Laticia Davis, wife of Owen Davis, was invited to cast the deciding ballot. She voted for 'Xenia.'

The first session of the Ohio General Assembly created Greene County from the Northwest Territory, embracing the homeland of the Shawnee Indians. Their chief tribal village was north of Xenia at old Chillicothe, now called Old Town. The Shawnee war chief Tecumseh was born there in 1768.

William Beattie was Xenia's first businessman. In 1804, he opened a tavern which became a center of community affairs. In 1804, John Marshall built Xenia's first home. The first log school house was constructed in 1805, and, that same year, Rev. James Towler became the town's first postmaster. The growing community soon attracted many pioneer industries - flour mills, sawmills, woolen mills, pork packing plants, oil mills, and tow mills.

Xenia was incorporated by an act of the legislature in 1817 and became a city in 1834. However, it was the arrival of the Little Miami Railroad (now the site of the Little Miami Scenic Trail, which passes through [http://www.miamivalleytrails.org/station.htm Xenia Station] ) in 1843 which gave the city its first industrial impetus. On March 2, 1850 the Ohio General Assembly rode from Columbus, Ohio to Xenia and back on the newly completed Columbus and Xenia Railroad.

The town progressed rapidly during the mid-nineteenth century. Artificial gas was provided in the 1840s and continued in use until natural gas was made available in 1905. The first fire engine house was built in 1831; the telephone came to Xenia in 1879; electricity in 1881 and a water works system in 1886. Xenia opened its first free public library in 1899. By 1900 the city was operating its own sewage system.

Organized under a federal form of government, Xenia elected Cornelius Clark as its first mayor in 1834. On January 1, 1918, the commission-manager plan succeeded the old form of municipal government. The Xenia of today still operates under this commission-manager system.

Tornadoes

On April 3, 1974 a tornado measuring F5 on the Fujita scale cut a path directly through the middle of Xenia during the Super Outbreak, the largest series of tornadoes in recorded history. The disaster killed 34 people (including two Ohio Air National Guardsmen who died days later in a related fire), injured an additional 1,150, destroyed almost half of the city’s buildings, and made 10,000 people homeless. Nine schools, nine churches and 180 businesses were destroyed. The city's plight was featured in the national news, and President Richard Nixon visited stricken areas.

Xenia was hit again by another (although smaller) tornado on September 20, 2000. One person was killed, and 100 people were injured. This second tornado followed a path roughly parallel to the 1974 tornado.

Xenia has a long history of severe storm activity. According to local legend, the area was referred to by Shawnee Indians as 'the place of the devil wind' or 'the land of the crazy winds' (depending upon the translation). [Joanne Huist Smith, 'Devil Winds: City's Curse or Tall Tale?' 'Dayton Daily News', Sept. 16, 2001, page 1B.] This is mentioned on a historical marker on Route 68 on the road from Xenia to Oldtown. Records of storms go back to the early 1800s. Local records show 20 tornadoes in Greene County since 1884.

Railroads

In 1960, Xenia had three freight railroads that ran through town. Today there are none, with the last track sections abandoned and ripped up in 1989.

The freight rail lines that served the city of Xenia were:
* The B&OWellston subdivision, which ran between Washington Court House and Dayton.
* The Pennsylvania Railroad's Little Miami branch, between Cincinnati and Springfield. Part of this line actually street-ran on U.S. Route 68, and as such was the first section to be dismantled.
* The Pennsylvania RR's Pittsburgh-St. Louis mainline. Amtrak used this line for the National Limited until 1979.

The rights-of-way of five of Xenia's six rail tracks have been converted to rail-trails. The one exception, the B&O line west of town, is not a separate trail because it closely paralleled the Pennsylvania mainline, running side-by-side for much of the way. With so many trails in town, a water tower refers to Xenia as the 'Bicycle Capital of the Midwest'.

Xenia was also served by two interurban railways: the Dayton and Xenia Transit Company, and the Springfield and Xenia Railway. These were dismantled in the 1940s or earlier.

Geography

Xenia is centrally located in the 'transportation triangle' formed by three major interstate highways: I-70, I-71, and I-75. These north-south, east-west arteries are within minutes of Xenia via U.S. Routes 35, 42, and 68, tying the community to one of the nation's largest 90-minute highway markets. Before the creation of the U.S. Interstate Highway system, U.S. 68 was one of the main southward routes from Detroit, Michigan. Within Xenia, U.S. 68 is named 'North Detroit Street' north of Main Street/Route 35, and 'South Detroit Street' south of that street.

Xenia is at coor dms 39 41 1 N 83 56 17 W city (39.683707, -83.938064).GR 1

Burger King

Xenia received international news coverage in August of 2008 after a Burger King worker posted a video of himself taking a bubble bath in the Xenia Burger King's utility sink. In the video posted on MySpace and Youtube, 31 year old employee Timothy Tackett (a.k.a. 'Mr. Unstable') dumps water on himself using a bucket marked with the words 'sanitary solution' while bathing naked in the sink. The Burger King manager on duty was informed on video of the employee's actions, and seemed apathetic about the whole ordeal. Burger King has since terminated all of the employees involved in the video, and has stated that the remaining staff at this restaurant will be retrained in health and sanitation procedures. Many financial analysts have since projected that this one infamous incident at the Xenia Burger King might have a negative impact on the entire company's quarterly earnings.
