Welcome to the heart of Ohio Country, the name originating from the French, who first colonized what became Columbus. The much-coveted land central to northern fur trade in the 18t h century ignited endless rows—including the French and Indian War. Eventually in 1797, the late, great Lucas Sullivant, ever the frontiersman, twice settled the land along the Olentangy and Scioto Rivers, surviving a havoc-wreaking flood to found Franklinton, Ohio, and the roots of Columbus was born. Now home to the NHL Blue Jackets, MLS Crew SC and the Ohio State Buckeyes, the tireless, fighting spirit continues down at Nationwide Arena, MAPFRE Stadium and “The ‘Shoe.” From German Village to Clintonville, Pay homage.
