The first settlers in the attractive, growing community that is now Pickerington, arrived in the area in 1808.In 1811, James Looker of Rockingham County, Virginia, bought at a public land sale land in Violet Township, including that on which Pickerington now stands. He never lived on his newly-acquired acres, but his children did, building log houses along the banks of Sycamore Creek. One of Mr. Looker’s daughters, Ann, was the wife of Abraham Pickering. The Pickerings built a log home in what is now Sycamore Creek Park, which is no longer standing. In 1815, Abraham Pickering laid out the original plat of old Pickerington. By 1865 there were 37 buildings in Pickerington, some of which are still standing.

In 1881 Pickerington was incorporated as a village. Click here for more history or village activities.
