The Ohio Central Normal School was housed in the old Worthington Female Seminary building. The seminary closed in 1857 as students chose to go to the new Ohio Wesleyan Female College in Delaware.
The Normal School opened in 1871, at a time when the need for trained teachers was arising. Ohio lagged far behind other states in recognizing the need for trained teachers. The Ohio Teachers Association, formed in 1847, opened some schools. City school districts began to demand educated and more highly trained teachers, and so a market grew. Private normal schools were started to help fill the demand. Large cities such as Columbus and Cincinnati also started their own district normal schools, and the competition brought about the demise of many private normal schools.
