History of Dunlap
A big part of the land that is now Dunlap was first owned by William and Asher Williamson. They sold their land in 1849 to a person named Mr. Parker. He created many building plots along the Colerain Pike and Hamilton Road.
In 1850, Oliver S. Glisson, who was an officer in the United States Navy, hired a lawyer named Thomas S. Yeatman. Glisson wanted Yeatman to plan a new neighborhood south of the village. This new area was on the farm of Glisson's father, who had recently passed away.
George Struble built some of the first houses in the village. These houses were on his farmland, which was east of the main road. The village was first called Georgetown to honor him.
