Old North Columbus
Olde North Columbus commonly refers to the area north of Lane Avenue to Slate run in Glen Echo Ravine, extending east to Silver Drive and west to Olentangy River Road, including the Union Cemetery in the University District. The area includes several smaller neighborhoods within these general boundaries, including the Iuka Ravine, Indianola Forest, Oakland & Northwood Ave, and Glen Echo. In October 2009, the City of Columbus officially recognized the neighborhood by installing two "Old North Columbus" arches along N. High Street - one at Lane Avenue and the second at Arcadia Avenue. Both arches were requested by Olde North Columbus residents, through the Olde North Columbus Preservation Society and the Findley Avenue Community Watch Collaborative.
The University Area Commission's Community Relation's Committee voted on August 5, 2009 to recognize Olde North Columbus as a University District neighborhood within the Commission's boundaries.
