Dayton, OH
Dayton was founded by a small group of settlers on April 1, 1796, seven years before the admission of Ohio to the Union in 1803. The town was incorporated in 1805 and named after Jonathan Dayton, a captain in the American Revolutionary War and signer of the U.S. Constitution. The city was the birthplace and home of aviation pioneers Wilbur and Orville Wright who, before their aviation success, ran a bicycle shop in Dayton. It was also the home of the poet Paul Laurence Dunbar and of John H. Patterson, who founded a successful cash register business in Dayton, National Cash Register Corporation, now diversified far beyond cash registers and known by its initials NCR.
