With a population of around 13,375 people, the City of Powell is located in Delaware County, Ohio. Because the area’s first residents moved to the area from Middlebury, Connecticut, the town was originally given the name Middlebury. It was settled around the year 1801, two years before Ohio became a state.

In 1857, the local Judge Thomas Powell opened the first post office there, and soon after the town’s residents selected his name for the town. As such, Powell’s roots came about with the construction of the railroad going through that area. In 1947, Powell was incorporated as a municipality and its population remained small until around the late 1980s when residential development grew from the northern Columbus metropolitan area and started to arrive in Powell. Then, in 20 years, the population spiked from what was less than 400 people to more than 6,000 people.

In July 2005, Powell was ranked by CNN Money and Money magazine as the 18th Best Place to Live on its list of the “100 Best Places to Live in the U.S.”
