História administrativa
In the early years of the United Brethren Church, publishing was done by private printers. In 1834, printing equipment was purchased and a printing establishment opened in Circleville, Ohio
The publishing house was incorporated by an act of the General Assembly as the Printing Establishment of the United Brethren in Christ. In 1853, the Printing Establishment was relocated to Dayton, Ohio.
In 1935, The Otterbein Press became the successor to the Printing Establishment corporation as the official publishing agency of the church. The Printing Establishment corporation was continued as the holding company for the twenty-one-story office building erected at Fourth and Main in Dayton in 1925.
When the Church of the United Brethren in Christ merged with the Evangelical Church in 1946, The Otterbein Press of the Church of the United Brethren and the Board of Publication of the Evangelical Church became part of the Board of Publication of the Evangelical United Brethren Church.
