Welsh Immigration to Ohio 1818 a group led by John Jones Tirbach left Wales and landed in Baltimore. They were on their way to Cincinnati to join other Welsh immigrants. They landed at Gallipolis for supplies and the women of the party refused to leave, they were so tired of four months of travel at sea. From thousands of others from Wales settled in Jackson and Gallia counties.

The Welsh brought their customs and traditions with them. One was love of singing!

Early Jackson Eisteddfodau Held every few months in alternating Welsh churches 1875 the first “official” Eisteddfod held in Oak Hill with several thousand attending Southern Ohio Eisteddfod Association formed by local Welsh businessmen to “preserve the Welsh language and the cultivation of poetry and music”.
