Background

This book provides an in-depth look at the development of the Flintridge Terrace neighborhood in Sharon Township, as well as the history of the Underground Railroad and African Americans in Worthington and surrounding areas. Flintridge Terrace was developed in the 1960s as a community for African American families who were faced with housing discrimination in other areas of Worthington. The document provides a chronology of the development of the area from the founding of Worthington and Sharon Township in 1803 to 1998 and includes personal stories written by residents of the area.

A two-page, foldout picture of students attending Worthington schools in 1892 is featured in the final two pages of the online document. It was originally included at page 30 of the book.
