The suburb behind this edition
Delaware, Ohio
Delaware is the county seat of Delaware County, just north of Columbus. The city has a well-preserved historic downtown along Sandusky and William streets, with locally owned shops and restaurants. Ohio Wesleyan University, chartered in 1842, sits in the heart of town and shapes much of the local character. The area mixes older historic neighborhoods near downtown with newer subdivisions farther out.
