Carlisle [ kɑːˈlaɪl ] (also Carlisle Junction , Carlisle Station or Jersey Settlement ) is a small city in the southwestern part of the US state Ohio in northwestern Warren County and in southern Montgomery County . The population increased from 4872 to 5121 people from the 1990 census to the 2000 United States Census . As a result, the limit of 5000 residents was exceeded, which enables Ohio to be a city.

geography

Carlisle is for the most part in Franklin Township , Warren County, a small part is in German Township , Montgomery County. The city is located exactly between the cities of Dayton and Middletown . Therefore, part of the city belongs to the Dayton metropolitan area and another part of the Cincinnati- Middletown metropolitan area.

history

Franklin Township, most of which Carlisle is located, was founded on May 10, 1803, a few months after Ohio was recognized as the 17th state in the United States. The eastern border of the township was the Great Miami River , which was also the border with Clinton County . Clinton County, however, had problems with a new Ohio state law that required counties to be at least 400 square miles. Therefore, on January 30, 1815, an agreement was reached that Clinton County should get a strip of Franklin Township from Warren County to the west. But since Warren County would have become too small as a result, the area on which Carlisle is today was added by Butler County to the area of ​​Franklin Township. Thus, the area in which the future city of Carlisle was formed came to Warren County.

Carlisle was built mainly by New Jersey settlers in the first half of the 19th century . The city is still often referred to as the "New Jersey Settlement". This is also suggested by the name of the cemetery in Carlisle, the New Jersey Presbyterian Church Cemetery .

Railway history

Cincinnati, Jackson and Mackinaw Railway in 1897 (red line). The purple line in the south denotes the route usage rights from Franklin , a few miles south of Carlisle, to Cincinnati .

Carlisle became a major rail hub in the second half of the 19th century. A railway museum (Carlisle Railway Museum) and a railway festival (Railroad Days) still remind of this past.

Carlisle played a role in the north-south connection between Jackson , Michigan and Cincinnati through the Cincinnati Northern Railroad . In 1886, the Cincinnati, Jackson and Mackinaw Railroad (CJ&M) completed the entire rail line from Addison , Michigan to Carlisle, Ohio. The CJ&M had secured rail rights for a route connection between Carlisle and Cincinnati via the Hamilton and Dayton Railroad (CH&D), but extended their route from Carlisle to Franklin in 1888 to ensure a connection to Cincinnati from there. In January 1896 Franklin started the connection to Cincinnati via the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railway (Big Four) from Franklin to Middletown, via the Middletown and Cincinnati Railroad to Hagemans Crossing and the Cincinnati, Lebanon and Northern Railway (CL&N) previously built on standard gauge .
