History

When in 1827 John Smith filed the first development plan for Hebron, Ohio - Erie Canal was under construction. On July 4, 1825 New York Governor DeWitt Clinton had made ​​the ground-breaking ceremony for the construction of the canal a few miles north of the settlement. The canal was completed in 1828 by Hebron. At the same time led the Old National Trail, now U.S. Highway 40, through the settlement. This crossing of two important roads of the United States made ​​Hebron a major hub. The city's motto is still the " Hebron - Historic Crossroads of Ohio ".
