The story

from WikipediaRead it all ↗

The first Euro-American settlement at Roundhead was made in 1832 on the site of a former Wyandot Indian village. The community is named for the Wyandot chief Roundhead. During its history, the community has also been referred to as "Round Head", "Round Heads", "Round Headstown", and "Roundheads Town". A post office has been in operation at Roundhead since 1837.

An archaeological site, the Zimmerman Kame, is located in the Roundhead vicinity; it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Nothing in Roundhead is on the National Register yet

That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Roundhead has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Hugh T. Rinehart House in Union, 9.7 miles away.

How a place gets listed

1Talk to the stateEvery nomination goes through the State Historic Preservation Office. Owners, towns and historical societies can start one.
2Try a local or state list firstMany states keep their own register with a shorter form, a common first step for old barns, halls and schoolhouses.
3Write it upA nomination covers the history, photos and a map. Hugh T. Rinehart House’s page links to a real one.
