Westerville History

Through it all, Westerville citizens have shown themselves to be rich in heritage, culture, pride, and vision--from the original settlers who took part in the Revolutionary War, to those who risked their lives as part of the Underground Railroad, to today's residents who continue to aspire to make Westerville a better community for future generations.
