GAHANNA OHIO HISTORY

Olde Gahanna began as a settlement in 1803, soon after the State of Ohio was admitted into the Union. Before that time, the area was covered with dense forest and it's main inhabitants were Indians. The Indians called what was then known as the Big Walnut Creek River, the Gahanna River. The Gahanna River is the junction of three streams; the Big Walnut Creek, Alum Creek and Blacklick Creek. By 1849, John Clark, son of the original settlers of the property, divided his family's farm into plots and named the town Gahanna, after the river that ran next to it. In the early 1900s Gahanna was a lively mill town and remnants of this can still be seen in Big Walnut Creek along Mill Street. Many original buildings, recognizable by their Victorian architecture, still remain in the Mill/Granville area. The Olde Gahanna District was created by City Council in 1976 to preserve the city's historical origins and local buildings on the National Registry.        Today, Gahanna is a city of approximately 35,000 residents. The city of Gahanna encourages community involvement and support for their own programs and community events. A spirit of volunteerism runs high in Gahanna and this contributes to the pride residents feel about their community. People look out for one another here. With well-managed growth, excellent schools and a convenient location, Gahanna has a bright future.
