In 1811, James Looker of Virginia bought land in Violet township at a public sale, including that on which Pickerington now stands. Looker’s son in law, Abraham Pickerington, bought some of his extra land, reserving three lots for a cemetery, educational purposes, and one for a Methodist Church. Eventually, log homes were built and Pickerington established a little town with no name. In 1827, the citizens petitioned the state legislature to change the name in honor of its founder, Abraham Pickering. Once an old country village, the growth and prosperity this city has seen since 1965 has transformed Pickerington into a major city in Fairfield County. This information and more can be found at the City of Pickerington’s website.
