If you think that Olentangy -- as in the name of the river east of Powell, OH -- is a bit of a tongue twister, then be grateful that the original term has fallen out of favor. The Delaware word for the waterway was keenhongsheconsepung_, _which means "stone for your knife stream." The natives used to turn the shale on the shoreline into weapons.
When one of the highlights of a local government's annual report is how many trees it has planted, that city must care about the livability of its citizens. Or, in typical small town fashion, we suppose it could be that people there just don't have much else to report. In any case, Powell must be doing something right because CNN called it one of the best places to live and Forbes hailed it as one of the "best places to get ahead." The relative newness of the homes, the expansive floor plans, and the conscientious homeowners' associations (HOAs) combine to give you an excellent quality of life in Delaware County. If you're an arborist who loves a small town with proximity to a metropolitan area, allow us to be so bold as to welcome you home to Powell. See more
