Gallipolis City of the Gauls founded by French settlers
Immigrants fled the French Revolution to Ohio's Gallipolis in 1791, forming the third Ohio settlement after Paris prospects in 1788. The Scioto Company misled many with gifted deeds, many settlers faced poverty and relocation, and most stayed as the town faded French culture. Lafayette visited in 1825.
