A merger of two towns on the Ohio and Erie Canal—Werts Grove and Rareys Portled to the birth of Groveport in 1847. Nearly two centuries later, this charming Ohio village remains the only Groveport in the nation.

With its recently renovated historical Main Street, and its auspicious location as a logistics and distribution center hub, Groveport has gracefully preserved its heritage while looking ahead to future growth. Residents can choose to live in either the charming older homes surrounding the historic downtown, or in the more recently built houses of the numerous subdivisions.

Despite the Villages small size, there's always plenty to do. The Community Affairs Department coordinates concert series, festivals and seasonal events; the Cultural Arts Center and Art Gallery schedule frequent exhibitions; the Town Hall hosts five theatre companies; and the Recreation/Senior Center offers numerous ways to stay fit.

• Groveport Aquatic Center With two giant water slides, a zero-depth entry leisure pool, a 450-ft. lazy river, an in-water playground, a tots sprayground, a lap pool with diving board, and lots of room to lounge, its no wonder this water wonderland is an award winner.
• Groveport Heritage Museum Displays historic artifacts and memorabilia dating to the Village's earliest days in the mid-nineteenth century.
• Heritage Nature Center Opened in collaboration with Columbus Metro Parks, the Center is located in a log house at Heritage Park, and offers naturalist-led programs.
