Westerville: Otterbein University and a Former Dry Town
Westerville lies in northern Franklin and southern Delaware Counties about 14 miles northeast of downtown Columbus. The city was founded in 1818 and became closely associated with the American temperance movement. The Anti-Saloon League, the most influential prohibition organization in American history, moved its national headquarters to Westerville in 1909 and operated from a building on West Main Street that is now the Anti-Saloon League Museum. The city remained legally dry until 2006, more than seventy years after the repeal of national prohibition.
Otterbein University, a private liberal arts institution founded in 1847, anchors the city's academic identity. The university enrolls roughly 2,400 students and operates a campus that forms the core of historic Westerville. The Philomathean Literary Society Building, dating from the nineteenth century, and Towers Hall are among the most recognizable buildings on campus.
Hoover Reservoir, the largest of the water-supply reservoirs for the Columbus region, forms the eastern boundary of Westerville. The reservoir was built in 1955 by damming Big Walnut Creek and covers approximately 3,250 acres. It supports fishing, sailing, and limited powerboating, along with extensive trail systems managed by Columbus Recreation and Parks.
