About The Ely Square Bicentennial Fountain

For 200 years and counting, Ely Square has stood as Elyria's central gathering place. Donated by the city's founder, Heman Ely, the square has long featured a series of fountains, each unique to the generations it served and each a focal point of civic pride. To continue that tradition, the 100-member 2017 City of Elyria Bicentennial Committee adopted the Ely Square Bicentennial Fountain as a legacy project in honor of Elyria's 200th birthday, made possible by donations of time and more than $355,000.00 from individuals, organizations, foundations, corporations, and city employees.
