Granville: SR-37 at SR-16/Columbus Rd, D05-033
Few places in central Ohio have a history as closely tied to New England settlement as Granville. Founded in 1805 by settlers from Granville, Massachusetts, it retains a distinctly New England civic character in its historic centre and nineteenth-century buildings. Raccoon Creek runs through the community, while wooded, rolling ground frames the town on the eastern edge of the Columbus metropolitan area. Denison University, founded in 1831, has long shaped local life from its hilltop campus. State Route 16 and Ohio State Route 37 meet just south of town, linking Granville with Columbus and communities across Licking County.

Built around a New England-style village green, Granville grew into a college town in central Ohio. Raccoon Creek passes through the community within the Licking River watershed, and the rolling terrain gives the streets a distinctly inland Ohio setting. Denison University, founded in 1831, occupies a hill above the centre and remains a defining part of local life. The Granville Historic District preserves a notably cohesive collection of 19th-century buildings that reflects the settlement’s New England roots.

Built around the Ohio River corridor and Lake Erie trade routes, Ohio grew into a major state of the American Midwest. Its terrain extends from the Appalachian foothills in the southeast across fertile central plains to Lake Erie’s northern shore, while the Cuyahoga River passes through Cleveland before entering the lake. Columbus, the state capital, stands near the centre of the state. Cincinnati developed along the Ohio River, and Cleveland’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame marks the city’s place in American music. Dayton is closely linked with the Wright brothers and the early history of powered flight. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Ohio.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
