History
Hilliard started as a railroad stop in 1852, and that small-town energy still runs through the city's tree-lined streets and walkable Old Hilliard district today. Sitting just west of Columbus, it offers quick access to I-270 and I-70, so Downtown Columbus, Dublin's corporate campuses, and The Ohio State University are all within a short drive. Station Park draws crowds for outdoor concerts and splash-pad nights, while the Heritage Rail Trail winds through green space perfect for biking and weekend strolls. The Franklin County Fairgrounds host events throughout the year, and Heritage Golf Club gives the area a scenic, unhurried backdrop.
