The area's first settlers, Theobalt Bartholomew and his family, left Charlotte, New York, and arrived on South Ridge Road near Cowles Creek in 1805. Geneva, however, was named by another early settler, Maj. Levi Gaylord, who suggested naming it after the small, beautiful town of Geneva, New York. By the mid-1800s, word traveled back to the East Coast of the fertile soil in Ohio, and soon many farmers came on horseback, in oxcarts, and on foot, driving herds of cattle to the area, and the population grew to about 150. The area along Lake Erie soon became a popular tourist destination with its grape-growing industry, Ohio's first resort, and fishing in the Grand River. The area prospered into a community united by work, recreation, and sport. This collection of historic images highlights the histories of Geneva, Geneva on the Lake, and Harpersfields from 1805 to the present day.

Geneva, Ohio
While preparing for an imminent move to Minnesota, I acquired a few introductory texts on the state's history including Rhoda Gilman's The Story of Minnesota's Past. I was unaware when purchasing the book that its primary purpose is as an instructional aid for teaching Minnesota history at the middle school level. While some of the language and concepts may have been a little simplistic, I still enjoyed the book and learned a great deal about Minnesota in the process. The numerous photos and maps are a particular asset, as are the short profiles of important historical figures. The work is unfortunately somewhat dated and there is relatively little study of the post-war period. All in all, The Story of Minnesota's Past is a fine introduction to Minnesota history and has introduced many avenues for further study.
