According to the city’s official website, the history of North Madison Ohio is as storied as any in the Union, and in many ways it is like the frontier history of many cities in Ohio. It is a story of frontier courage and hard work that helped create the great city of North Madison.

On July 29, 1847 a group of pioneers known as the Ohio Company, led by John North Madison, entered the Ohio Valley. Within weeks after their arrival, they discovered a free flowing, spring fed stream, which they called Spring Creek (near Kentucky Avenue). While most of the group returned in the winter, two or three men built dugouts along this stream and wintered over.

Thus, this became the first village established away from Cleveland itself. In the spring, a number of families hurried out to build homes and tame the land. There were numerous springs and ponds here and grasses and wild flowers were abundant, making this a most desirable area for settlement. When John Madison was named as the branch president of the Church, the village took upon itself the name of North Madison’s Settlement or North Madison’s Burgh.

And while so far the city has grown to 10,000 people it has not lost that original ethic of hard work and ingenuity that made the city in the first place. North Madison is a Ohio success story and if you are looking to buy or sell a home here you too will be a North Madison success story.
