Reynoldsburg, OH
Reynoldsburg is
home of the "Tomato Festival". The tomato was "born"
in Reynoldsburg in the 19th century (1870) with the help of
local Alexander W. Livingston. Livingston developed the
"Paragon Tomato" billed as the first ever tomato bred for
commercial use. Reynoldsburg was settled after the
American Revolution when the Continental Congress awarded former
military men land in the Refugee Track. In 1802 James and
Martha Crawford were the pioneers that settled there. In
1803 Thomas Palmer of Massachusetts became first to live on the
site of Reynoldsburg and later in 1839 the village of
Reynoldsburg was incorporated. Zip Code:
