Westerville started as a small, farming community that was regarded as a district of Columbus containing a hotel and tavern, a general store and a Methodist church. This changed when The Blendon Young Men’s Seminary was bought by the United Brethren Church in 1846, which then became Otterbein College. This eventually well-respected college, and later university, brought cultural and economical changes to Westerville, leading the village to put in three-story commercial buildings in the area that is now known as Uptown Westerville.
