Alton is best known within Ohio for its place along the historic National Road, now followed locally by U.S. Route 40. This small central Ohio community lies west of Columbus amid the broad agricultural terrain of the Big Darby Creek watershed. Big Darby Creek is one of Ohio’s designated National Scenic Rivers and is noted for its diverse freshwater ecosystem. The old road provides a strong historical connection: the National Road was the first federally funded interstate highway in the United States, linking the eastern states with the interior.
