Uhrichsville's history and present-day amenities in east Ohio
Uhrichsville is a small city in eastern Ohio that rests along Stillwater Creek and Little Stillwater Creek. The community has a water park, a golf course and several locally owned businesses. It shares a school district and many resources with its twin city, Dennison, which is just east of Little Stillwater Creek. Historically, the two cities were collectively known as the clay capital of the world, because they were home to more than 30 clay factories. Gradually, demand for chimney flue liners and clay sewer pipes decreased, and most of the kilns were dismantled by the late 1900s. Today, access to highway travel allows Uhrichsville residents to commute to jobs in Dennison, New Philadelphia and beyond.

A mix of historic homes, fixer-uppers and newer developments
Some Uhrichsville residences date back to the early 1900s, when the clay industry was booming. “The historic neighborhood is on Water Street, where the businessmen and pottery owners used to live,” says Dawn Jones, Realtor with McInturf Realty who has lived in the area her whole life. “We have all sorts of houses in just about every price range — fixer-uppers, homes with lots of land and some new developments.” Fixer-uppers tend to sell between $10,000 and $80,000, depending on the level of repairs needed. The majority of houses are priced from $80,000 to $280,000, and styles include Queen Annes, farmhouses and bungalows, as well as a few manufactured homes. After heavy rains, the creeks may rise, which can lead to property damage, so lenders may require flood insurance.
