History

In 1786–87, soldiers of theFirst American Regimentunder MajorJean François HamtramckbuiltFort Steubento protect the government surveyors mapping the land west of theOhio River,[10]and named the fort in honor of BaronFriedrich Wilhelm von Steuben.When the surveyors completed their task a few years later, the fort was abandoned. In the meantime, settlers had built homes around the fort; they named their settlement Steubenville. The name Steubenville was derived fromFort Steubento honorBaron von Steuben(the fort was named for the Baron). The town was sometimes referred to as La Belle City, afranglaisinterpretation of "The Beautiful City".[11]

On July 29, 1797,Jefferson Countywas organized by a proclamation of GovernorArthur St. Clair,and Steubenville was selected as the county seat. It wasplattedin the same year by Bezaliel Wells andJames Ross,the city's co-founders. Wells, a government surveyor born inBaltimore,received about 1,000 acres (4 km2) of land west of the Ohio River; Ross, a lawyer fromPittsburgh,owned the land north of Wells.[11]

On March 1, 1803,Ohiowas admitted to the Union as the 17th state.[12]During the first half of the nineteenth century, Steubenville was primarily a port town, and the rest of the county was small villages and farms. Steubenville received a city charter in 1851. In 1856, Frazier, Kilgore and Company erected a rolling mill (the forerunner of steel mills) and the Steubenville Coal and Mining Company sank a coal shaft. The city was a stop along thePittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railroad,which connected Pittsburgh toChicagoandSt. Louis.

TheSteubenville Female Seminary,also known as Beatty's Seminary for Young Ladies or Steubenville Seminary, was an early private educational institution for women founded by Presbyterian minister Charles Clinton Beatty in 1829. It was closed in 1898 and the buildings were eventually razed for part of what is nowOhio State Route 7.

Market Street in 1910

In 1946, the College of Steubenville was founded by theFranciscanFriarsof theThird Order Regular.[13]In 1980, its name was changed to University of Steubenville, and finally in 1985 toFranciscan University of Steubenville.[14]In 1966, the Jefferson County Technical Institute was founded. In 1977, its name was changed to Jefferson Technical College. In 1995, it became a community college and was renamed Jefferson Community College. In 2009, the college expanded its service district by three Ohio counties, and was renamed again:Eastern Gateway Community College.

The city gained international attention in late 2012 from the events surrounding theSteubenville High School rape case,which occurred in August 2012. The case was first covered byThe New York Timesthat December, followed by the computer hacker groupAnonymouslater that month, and the subsequent coverage of the trials in late 2013. The case was significant in the extensive use of social media as evidence and in opening a national discussion on the concept ofrape culture.[15][16]

An archaeological dig on the grounds of the reconstructedFort Steuben

Fort Steuben,located downtown on South Third Street, is a reconstructed 18th century fort on its original location overlooking the Ohio River. Built in 1787 to protect the government surveyors of theSeven Rangesof the Northwest Territory, Fort Steuben housed 150 men of the 1st American Regiment. The non-profit organization that worked to rebuild the fort also developed the surrounding block into Fort Steuben Park that includes the Veterans Memorial Fountain and the Berkman Amphitheater. The Fort Steuben Visitors center is home to the Museum Shop and the Steubenville Convention & Visitors Bureau and is an official site on the Ohio River Scenic Byway.[citation needed]

Adjacent to the fort is the First Federal Land Office with its original logs from 1801. After the Ohio country was surveyed, it could be sold or given away as land grants; the settlers brought their deeds to be registered at the Land Office to David Hoge, the Registrar of Lands and Titles for the Northwest Territory.[citation needed]

"Ohio Valley Steelworker" Statue was created by artist Dimitri Akis as a tribute to theOhio ValleySteelworkers.The life-size figure carries a long-handled dipping ladle and is wearing the hooded fire-proof suit worn in the steel mills. The statue was located at the junction of Hwy 22 (University Blvd) and Hwy 7 (Dean Martin Blvd). In the fall of 2014, the statue was moved to its new home, displayed on South Fourth Street at the site of the Public Library of Steubenville and Jefferson County.[39]

The event is centered around a large collection life-size nutcracker sculptures spread throughout Fort Steuben Park in downtown Steubenville.[45][46]The Nutcracker Village is free and open to the public 24 hours a day and generally runs from the Tuesday beforeThanksgivingtoEpiphany Sundayin early January.[47]

The event began in 2015 with 37 locally produced, hand-painted nutcrackers.[48]They are made offiberglassand foam at a local business.[48]Design and production takes about 40 hours each.[48]In the second year, there were a total of 75 nutcrackers; by 2023, there were 209 around town.[48]Each of the nutcrackers, which range in height from 5 to 9 feet (1.5 to 2.7 m) tall is unique, and the designs include fictional characters from books, movies, comic strips, and songs, holiday characters likeMrs. Claus,and professions, such as asteel welder.[48]

Live entertainment and a German-styleAdvent Marketfeaturing local artisans and craftsmen, as well as hot food and drink vendors, runs each weekend through the month of December in Fort Steuben Park to coincide with the Nutcracker Village event. The popularity of the Nutcracker Village since its inception has inspired other nutcracker-themed ventures in the City of Steubenville, including Drosselmeyer's Nutcracker Shoppe, a year-round Christmas shop in downtown Steubenville,[49]andWooden Hearts Follies,a locally-written and performed musical centered around characters from the event.[50][51]The Nutcracker Village attracted over 40,000 visitors in 2017 and is credited with bringing new life to Steubenville's downtown area.[9][48]

Policing, civil rights lawsuits, and reform

edit

In 1997, theU.S. Department of Justicealleged that the city and police force had subjected numerous individuals to "excessive force, false arrests, charges, and reports" and had engaged in practices regarding "improper stops, searches, and seizures". The report from the Department also stated that excessive force was levied against individuals who witnessed incidents of police misconduct, and against those who were known critics of the city and its police force. Those individuals were also falsely detained if the city and the police agreed that they were "likely to complain of abuse". It further stated that the officers involved falsified reports and tampered with official police recorders so that "misconduct would not be recorded".[55]

As a result, the city's police force became the second city in the United States to sign a consent decree with the federal government due to an excessive number of civil rights lawsuits. The decree was signed on September 4, 1997, under the "pattern or practice" provision. Under this agreement, the city agreed to improve the training of its police officers, implement new guidelines and procedures, establish an internal affairs unit, and establish an "early warning system".[56]

Based on reformed use of force policies and improved police training requirements implemented by the city and its police department, the consent decree with the U.S. Department of Justice ended on March 4, 2005. These reforms and improvements were reviewed by the city council in 2020, and the city manager outlined use of force policies, data, and training that showed continuing improvements.[57]

Speed camera lawsuit

edit

The speed camera program began in 2005 and earned the city $600,000 in revenues, as nearly 7,000 tickets (at $85 each) were issued during that time period. In March 2006, the Jefferson County Court of Common Pleas ruled that the city ordinance of supporting the speed camera program was illegal and unconstitutional. The city refused to remove the cameras, however, because it stated it was "bound by contract to continue the services" of Traffipax, Inc., the US subsidiary of ROBOT Visual Systems, a German corporation. Despite attempts to remove the cameras, the city continued to defy the judge's order and reinstated an identical ordinance to continue issuing citations. Councilman at Large Michael Hernon cast the sole dissenting vote against reinstating the traffic cameras.[58]

In mid-2006, an attorney filed a class-action lawsuit against the city of Steubenville for illegally collecting fines and generating unnecessary revenue from motorists. He won the case in December 2007 and the city was forced to refund thousands of tickets totaling $258,000.[59]Stern also gathered enough signatures from the residents of the city to put forth a referendum that posed the question of whether the city's ordinance authorizing the speed camera program should continue. On November 8, 2006, city residents voted to end the city's speed camera program with a 76.2 percent majority.[60]
