Gahanna
is a suburb of Columbus, located in Franklin County in central Ohio. As of the 2010 census, the population was 33,248. Gahanna was founded in 1849 at the confluence of three creeks that form what is now called Big Walnut Creek. The word "Gahanna" is derived from a Native American word meaning "three creeks joining into one." Gahanna has been named "one of the top 100 places to live" by Money Magazine and "one of the best places to retire" by Black Enterprise Magazine. The town is host to an annual golf outing and also the Taste of Gahanna, a special event where over 20 food vendors offer visitors a chance to sample appetizers, entrees and desserts. Gahanna is minutes to all of the attractions of the city of Columbus, including the Columbus Zoo & Aquarium, Columbus Museum of Art, the Franklin Park Conservatory Botanical Gardens, and COSI (Center of Science and Industry.) Parents Magazine has named COSI one of the ten best science centers for families in the USA. The Ohio Historical Society is another place of interest near Gahanna, and includes Ohio Village, which is a replica of an Ohio town around the time of the Civil War. Annual festivals include the Columbus Arts Festival, the Jazz and Ribs Festival, ComFest (a large music festival,) and the Hot Times Festival, which is a celebration of music, arts, food and cultural diversity in the city.
