Central Ohio

Buckeye State's middle

Central Ohio is the region surrounding Columbus, the state capital, in the middle of Ohio.

The term appears in business names, news coverage, and regional identity: Central Ohio's economy has grown faster than the rest of the state.

Unlike some regional designations, Central Ohio lacks sharp boundaries—it typically includes Franklin County and surrounding areas but expands or contracts depending on context.
