The first pioneers came to Westerville using an Indian trail that became 161. More than 150 years passed before the completion of I-270 at Westerville Road. Vehicles changed from horse and oxen-drawn wagons to cars, trucks and motorcycles fueled by gas, diesel and electricity. The arrival of the train and trolley were greeted with great excitement by Westerville citizens but both disappeared as new forms of transportation became popular.
If those pioneers who came here 200 years ago could visit today, we can only imagine their shock at the changes in transportation: forests have become roads; bridges span the local creeks; airplanes occupy the sky with the birds; and cars travel busy highways at 70 miles per hour arriving quickly at their destinations.

The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence.

Spring 2008
Westerville’s Centennial Celebration:
August 16-23, 1958
Over 12,000 people helped celebrate the 100th birthday of Westerville’s incorporation
in August 1958. Citizens planning the week-long activities formed two groups,
“Wester –villains” and “Wester – belles”, to promote all the festivities. The men grew
beards and the women donned long skirts and bonnets to celebrate the town’s history.
The August events were kicked off with a huge ball with participants twirling to the
music of the Roy Roop orchestra at the Blendon Grange Hall. The refreshments
included the largest cake in Westerville history. Dignitaries in attendance included
the governor of Ohio.
The grand parade included seven marching bands and many colorfully decorated
floats spotlighting Westerville history and heritage. One of the most popular nightly
events during the week was the pageant “Trails ‘N Turnpikes” which shared the
history of Westerville from settlement to 1958. Three hundred local residents acted in
the spectacular production. To the thrill of the audience special effects included flares,
smoke bombs and fireworks. The most popular prop was the “singing trolley,” an
exact replica of the streetcars that began traveling up State Street in the 1890s.
Sanders Frye created this extraordinary vehicle.
The events for young people included demonstrations of the pioneer lifestyle at the
Hanby House, a doll show sponsored by the Campfire girls, Junior Olympic contests,
and junior tennis matches. The most popular event was the children’s parade which
encouraged the community’s youth to dress up and parade with their pets.

Chautauqua coming to town
When community volunteers met to begin mapping out the celebration of Westerville’s
150 years of incorporation, they decided to focus on three signature events. First, was the
Celebrate on State New Year’s Eve party. An estimated crowd of 10,000 enjoyed a balmy
December 31st evening and strolled up State Street greeting neighbors, blowing noise-
makers and anxiously awaiting Westerville’s own ball rise at midnight.
Now we are moving on to the next big events – Chautauqua and the Independence Week
festivities. The Chautauqua programs are a
return to the early years of the 19th century
when the traveling tents were set up on the
Otterbein campus and residents thronged
to hear the music and speakers. This year
the tent is going to be set up in the sports
fields across from the Community Center on
Cleveland Ave. The five inventors and
innovators being portrayed are Mary
McLeod Bethune, Andrew Carnegie,
Alexander Graham Bell, George Washing-
ton Carver and Thomas Edison. Daytime
programs for youth will be offered at the
library and the community center. The full
schedule will be available at the library, the
community center and will come to your
home in the ThisWeek newspaper. Look for
further details and join us under the big top
for some music and free educational entertainment each evening Wednesday, July 2nd
through Sunday, July 6th at 6:30pm. Refreshments will be available.
For additional information contact Beth Weinhardt, coordinator of local history,
