In this quiet, restful town with beau- tiful tree-lined streets is a much-used park where children and grown-ups alike revel in the gaiety of late afternoon picnics and Sunday reunions. Covington's beauty is natural, for it is situated on the graceful Stillwater River. Several creeks drain into the river in the area. This site was picked by the founders of the village, Daniel Wright and jacob Ullery, who laid out 26 lots on the east side of the Stillwater in 1816. Two of the streets, which were laid out at that time, still carry the name after the founders. Incorporated in 1835, the village population grew to 451 Miami County Dairy Bar people by 1850, which is one-fifth of the 1950 population of 2,712. In 1869 West Covington, which is across the river southwest of the village, was laid out. This section has never been incorporated into the village of Covington. Most of the early businesses in the Covington area con- sisted of quarries, mills, and tanneries. The area is under- laid with an excellent quality of limestone. Many build- ings in the village today are stone. After cement and concrete blocks came into wider use, most of the quarries were abandoned. Some of the chief industries are the Westerville Cream- ery, the largest, the Dayton Power and Light Company, which supplies the electricity for Covington's utilities, and the Miami County Dairy, which processes the milk from Westerville Creamery .-.

The dairy supplies the surrounding, as well as the local, communities. Take thirty-three volunteer firemen, add four trucks, one emergency car, and a new fire house, and you come up with an efficient Covington Fire Department. Facilities for a sanitary sewage system were installed in 1940 and enlarged in 1957. The present system has the capacity for five thousand users over and above the existing population. City Council meetings take place in the Fire Department every two weeks. The council is the governing body of the village. Most affairs and problems of Covington are discussed and if needed, corrections are made for the Fire Department i N 'r Dayton Power and Light Company betterment of the town. Covington has many fine civic and service organizations, as well as one Catholic and five Protestant churches, to develop the social and religious outlook of the community. And so, it is with genuine pleasure that we, the Senior Class of 1959, dedicate this book to the community of Covington, Ohio, whose cooperative, willing support is largely responsible for the smoothness with which our school operates. Through the years, the people of our community have given freely of their time and efforts to aid the school. When we leave our school world in the afternoon to go back into our own particular corners in the community, we agree that Covington is a fine place to live. Post Office
