Sidney was connected with other trade centers in Ohio between 1825 and 1837, after the completion of the Miami - Erie Canal. Sidney was incorporated in 1834 as a village. Later in 1897, it was reincorporated as a city. It is the birthplace of Paul Lauterbur, the famous scientist and Nobel Prize winner.
