Story

Rittman's history enriches its attraction where industries come to flourish and families come to settle. Rittman is the only place in the U.S. named Rittman. The first settlers, in what now is Rittman, were William Doyle and John Coleman who took title to land on July 23, 1814. Records indicate that eight families purchased land in the northeastern part of newly formed Wayne County within a month of their neighbors. It is likely they traveled the same trails and arrived close together. These families sold portions of their land to others, and within a year other families were clearing trees, planting crops and beginning the history of Rittman, Ohio.
