“The most indifferent observer will not fail to notice Dayton. The wide streets, kept in excellent order, the noble blocks of stores, filled with choice, and of course, cheap goods, and more than all, the exceeding beauty and neatness of the dwellings, you at once mark with a 'white stone,' in a small bend of the Great Miami River, with canals on the east and south, it may be fairly said that Dayton is the gem of all our interior towns; it possesses wealth, refinement, enterprise and a beautiful country.” - T, Reporter for Cincinnati Chronicle in 1845

While this is not the only theory, and there may never be a definitive answer to the question, this excerpt is one of the earliest known links between Dayton and the term “gem.”

Christmas Carol by Paul Laurence Dunbar
No, be not still,
But with a will
Strike all your harps and set them ringing;
On hill and heath
Let every breath
Throw all its power into singing!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from your friends at Oak & Ivy!
