About This Neighborhood:

Known as the “Herb Capital of Ohio,” Gahanna was founded along the Big Walnut Creek in 1849; the name Gahanna is derived from a Native American word for three creeks joining into one and is the former name of the Big Walnut Creek.

Gahanna offers all of the sights and sounds of nostalgic Americana. Today, visitors can take a paddleboat ride down the meandering Big Walnut Creek, explore yesteryear in 16 historic landmarks, and stop by Historic Olde Gahanna.

In 2004, Gahanna’s new Creekside Gahanna redevelopment and park extension project began, making way for everything from public spaces and restaurants to residences and office space. As of late 2007, the project businesses began to open. The area in Olde Gahanna became known as Creekside.
