Have you ever wondered about the history of Dayton, Ohio? Or how Dayton got its name, or why Dayton is called the Gem City? Do you know who Dorothy Lane is named after?

Often I talk to people that have lived in the Dayton area for years, and they are surprised to learn the things I know about this area. I’ve lived here my whole life, and have driven down these streets without ever questioning who Ludlow or Wilkinson are. Dayton Unknown is here to answer the questions you’ve never asked, and some you have.

Come along as we explore Dayton’s Unknown!
