Dublin is a city in Delaware, Franklin, and Union counties in the U.S. state of Ohio. The population was 31,392 at the 2000 census. In 2004, the population was estimated to be 34,301, and Dublin continues to be one of the fastest-growing suburbs of Columbus. In addition, thousands more live outside the municipal boundaries of Dublin, yet are generally considered Dubliners because they reside within the school district. Approximately 57,000 people live within the school district. It is part of the greater Columbus metropolitan area.

Dublin is home to the corporate headquarters of Wendy's Restaurants, and was featured recently in the "Dublin, Ohio: Home of Wendy's" commercials. It is also home to OCLC, the creator of WorldCat. Each year in late May or early June, the city hosts The Memorial Tournament, a major stop on the PGA Golf Tour. Consequently, a large number of golf aficionados choose to make Dublin their home. There are also three other fine golf courses in Dublin. The Riviera Golf Club is home to the Italian-American Golf Association. Tartan Fields Golf course, which has held the LPGA's Wendy's Championship for Children, is also in Dublin. Finally, Dublin also has a public golf course financed by the city. Other annual events include the annual 4th of July Music Event, a St. Patrick's Day parade, and the Dublin Irish Festival. The Mall at Tuttle Crossing, which is the third-largest shopping center in Columbus, can also be found nearby.

History

---

Although its earliest settlements date back to 1802, the village that came to be known as Dublin didn't begin to take shape until the arrival of the Sells family of Huntingdon, Pennsylvania. Brothers Peter and Benjamin Sells purchased 400 acres (1.6 km²) of land on the west banks of the Scioto River as a gift for their brother John. In 1808, John Sells brought his family to the region, and by 1810 he had begun to survey lots for the new village with his partner, an Irish gentleman named John Shields. According to legend, Shields is responsible for naming the town after his native birthplace of Dublin, Ireland.
