Bexley

Bexley is a tree-lined suburban city located east of Columbus along Alum Creek, characterized by numerous parks and large residences. The city contains various educational institutions distributed throughout its neighborhoods.

Bexley was established in 1908 through the merger of the Bullitt Park and Pleasant Ridge communities. Col. Lincoln Kilbourne named it after his ancestral home in London, creating a direct connection to the English roots of the city's identity.

The Jeffrey Mansion functions as an arts education center where community members gather throughout the year for various programs and events.

The city provides residents with online services for administrative matters such as utility payments and court services. A weekly newsletter keeps residents informed about local news and updates.

In 2013, Bexley became the first municipality in the United States to receive accreditation as an urban arboretum. This recognition reflects the city's commitment to tree planting and green space preservation.
