Settled in the early 1800s; Olmsted Falls was originally known as Kingston Township before being named Olmsted Falls; after Aaron Olmstead; first purchaser of the land from the Connecticut Land Company. It merged with the Village of Westview in 1971; and the City of Olmsted Falls was established in 1972. In 1989; longtime resident and realtor Clint Williams bought many buildings in the town center and restored and redeveloped them into an area known as Grand Pacific Junction; after the Grand Pacific Hotel; once the social center of the community. It is celebrated as one of the most authentic and revitalized town center historic districts in Ohio. Many of the buildings have been placed on the National Register of Historic Places.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. nice photosBy Sylvia PowellArrived in good time. The photos in this book are great. and its mostly reproduced photos. The only reason I give three stars is because the cover was creased either before or while it was being shipped. Its a soft cover. and the packaging was a big bubble envelope.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Matteson. town with characterBy MimMeWhat a great book! I wish the state would come out with more books like this one. It offers a wonderful insight to Mattesons beginnings. Stories and original pictures gives the reader an idea of what life was like and how the town developed. Great fun to compare Matteson from long ago to the Matteson today. REally awesome book. especially if you are a resident of the area.
