The Worthingway neighborhood in Worthington Ohio was built in the early 1960s. A Worthingway map shows streets now in the City of Worthington including Longfellow, Poe, Hawthorne, Stevenson, Thackery... authors names... great authors names. Other streets if they are writers names they are beyond my literary knowledge, Riley?, Bryant?, Tonbridge and Highgate?
An ad for the Worthingway neighborhood from a Worthington Chamber of Commerce publication from 1964:
The Walter T. Krumm advertisement for NEW homes in Worthingway says the Worthingway neigbhorhood is north of "Worthington Proper"? Worthingway and Worthington Estates were out in the country north of Worthington! The two neighborhoods as well as what is NOW north of them Olentangy Hills, Ville Charmonte and Worthington Square was "out in the country" in the 1960s. It sounds as if the Worthingway and Worthington Estates neighborhoods were in an unicorporated area outside the Cityof Worthington, Worthingway would have been in Sharon Township when it was built.
Today the Worthingway neighborhood is well inside of the City of Worthington.
Worthington Estates ad from the chamber publication!
