Delaware
Delaware / Lewis Center
Founded in 1808, Delaware overlooks the Olentangy River that flows through Central Ohio. For several decades throughout the late 1800’s and the first half the 1900’s it was a popular resort community entertaining the well-to-do from Columbus. Today an old spa building still remains on the campus of Ohio Wesleyan.
As the century moved on and Americans began to spread out, new residents, businesses, and industry began to move in, allowing the area to grow at a modest pace. With the boom of the 1990’s the county became one of the fastest growing in the nation.
Walking through the Saturday morning farmers market will provide you with great insight into the dynamics of the city of Delaware, as well as the character of its residents. At the farmers market you will see a variety of unique antique shops, clothing stores, used book stores, and restaurants that often populate small college towns. Together, these retailers keep downtown Delaware vibrant and alive. The residents of Delaware have gone to great length to preserve the historic feel and look of downtown by taking steps to protect the buildings and attract just the right mix of commerce.
An equally important area of focus for Delaware residents is its public education system. The district is actually split into two and include Delaware and Olentangy Schools. Both districts goals focus around maximizing student performance and providing a safe and effective learning environment and are amongst the top priorities. Delaware City School District and Olentangy City School District operate several neighborhood elementary schools serving students Pre-K through 4, an intermediate building for students in grades 5 and 6, a 7th and 8th grade middle school, and a 9-12 high school.
