Delaware Vacation Guide
Delaware is a city in the state of Ohio and the county seat of Delaware County. The municipality is located near the center of the state of Ohio, about 20 miles north of Columbus, Ohio. Delaware was founded in 1808, incorporated in 1816. It is part of the Columbus Metropolitan Area. The population was 25,246 at the 2000 census. According to the US Census 2006 estimate, Delaware has a population of 32,100, while the Columbus-Marion-Chillicothe, OH Combined Statistical Area has 1,953,575 people.
Part of the Olentangy River now occupied by Delaware hosted a Delaware Native American village prior to the founding of the town in 1808. Delawares called themselves Lenape or Leni-lenape, equivalent to "real men," or "native, genuine men" and were called "Grandfathers" by the Algonquian tribes because of their belief that the Delawares were the oldest and original Algonquian nation. During the American Revolution, the Delawares became a divided people. Many attempted to remain neutral in the conflict. Some adopted Christianity, while other Delawares supported the English, who had assumed the role of the French traders at the end of the French and Indian War.
President Rutherford B. Hayes was born in Delaware, but only a historical marker remains to commemorate the site of this event. Some industry began to come to the area after World War II, and the town continues to grow at a modest pace. The county is one of the fastest growing in the nation.
