Gambier, Ohio
Gambier (/ˈɡæm.bɪər/ GAM-beer) is a village in Knox County, Ohio, United States. The population was 2,213 at the 2020 census.
Gambier is the home of Kenyon College.
Gambier was laid out in 1824. The village was named after one of Kenyon College's early benefactors, Lord Gambier.
In the 1960s, Japanese writer Junzo Shono spent several years in Gambier, culminating in the writing of the book A Sojourn in Gambier, which would prove to be quite popular in Japan.
On May 4, 2020, the village of Gambier became the first municipality in Knox County to enact a law which explicitly includes LGBTQ+ people in anti-discrimination legislation. Gambier became the 29th municipality in the state of Ohio to adopt this legislature (as of 2022, there were 34 municipalities and one county with such legislation). The language specifies that no person can be discriminated against on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity and expression. The decision came to a unanimous vote over the video-chat platform, Zoom, facilitated by the town's mayor, Leeman Kessler. The law is a reflection of the Ohio Fairness Act, a bill currently stalled at the House and the Senate tables.
Gambier is located along the Kokosing River.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 0.94 square miles (2.43 km2), all land.
At the 2010 census there were 2,391 people, 343 households, and 126 families living in the village. The population density was 2,543.6 inhabitants per square mile (982.1/km2). There were 375 housing units at an average density of 398.9 per square mile (154.0/km2). The racial makeup of the village was 90.5% White, 2.8% African American, 0.2% Native American, 2.0% Asian, 0.8% from other races, and 3.7% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 2.8%.
