Brief History

Mason, Ohio was founded in 1815 as the Village of Palmyra by Major William Mason, a Revolutionary War veteran.  Twenty years later the name was changed to Mason in his honor.  Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries Mason has steadily grown into a major city in southwestern Ohio.  The history of Mason is indeed interesting.
