The city of Dayton is full of originals - past and present. Some are as clear and evident as the Wright brothers, Tech Town, or our unique historic districts. Others are modest, like the neighbor, student or business owner who is passionate about making a difference in our community.



A key element of our new “Dayton Patented. Originals Wanted.” branding campaign is highlighting the many city originals who are shaping Dayton’s future. We want their story to help tell Dayton’s story.
