Westerville

by Nathaniel Richard Baker

Overview

Once known as the "Dry Capital of the World," with all sales of alcohol prohibited within the village limits, Westerville's formal incorporation came in 1858 with a population under 700 residents. Though modernization has affected the city, now with a population over 37,000, Westerville still maintains its small-town atmosphere and historic appearance.
