Franklinton, now a city neighborhood, was the first European settlement, laid out in 1797.

The city assumed the function of state capital in 1816 and county seat in 1824.
Amid steady years of growth and industrialization, the city has experienced numerous floods and recessions. Beginning in the 1950s, Columbus began to experience significant growth; it became the largest city in Ohio in land and population by the early 1990s. The 1990s and 2000s saw redevelopment in numerous city neighborhoods, including Downtown.
