History of Uhrichsville
Although the town was laid out under the name of "Waterford" in 1833, it was informally known as "Uhrich’s Mill" after Michael Uhrich, a local mill operator, and in 1839 the town was officially renamed Uhrichsville. It benefitted from the Ohio and Erie Canal and later from the Pan Handle Railroad. Railroad shops built at nearby Dennison later added further to Uhrichsville’s growth.
Uhrichsville Water Park opened in June 2008. It has heated pools and features slides, waterfalls, buckets, and a water jungle gym.
