Westerville, once known as “The Dry Capital of the World”, is a city in Franklin and Delaware counties in the U.S. state of Ohio. The population was 35,318 at the 2000 census. In the early days before the town’s incorporation, Westerville was connected to Columbus by a plank road with a toll of ten cents. Today, Westerville borders Interstate 71 and Interstate 270, expressways that connect it with Columbus and other suburbs. The land that is today Westerville was first settled around 1810.
