Nestled on the banks of the Scioto River in the Columbus Region's northwest quadrant is one of the oldest communities in central Ohio—the city of Dublin.

Dublin's downtown is a National Historic District where 19th-century stone buildings erected by the first settlers line the streets. Quaint tearooms, cozy pubs and the annual Irish festival give the village a European flavor captured by Dublin's slogan, Irish is an attitude.

But don't let its sense of history allow you to think that Dublin is caught in the past. New suburban housing, good schools, a thriving business environment, and great events make this Columbus suburb an up-to-the-minute place to live.
