City Of Hilliard Ohio Revenue and Competitors

The original Hilliard area was platted on September 1, 1853, after John Reed Hilliard purchased 10 acres of land in western Franklin County. The town was originally named Hilliard’s Station after the depot on Main Street in the center of town, an area now considered Old Hilliard. Hilliard’s Station served as an ideal shipping point for agricultural products going to market and supplies coming to farmers in the area. In 1854, the town established a post office and the word Station was dropped from the town name. Hilliard has long been a draw for families. In the mid-1800s, it was a farm town remote from the bustling activity of the state capital. With careful planning based on its location along waterways, rail lines and, eventually, major interstates, Hilliard became a hub for businesses, schools, churches and civic organizations. Today, Hilliard is a vibrant community that is transforming into a more connected and urban city. Dense, mixed-use development puts Hilliard residents closer to the products and services they need and want to live, eat, shop and play. From quaint shops, businesses and restaurants that fill historic Old Hilliard to the growth of new businesses that line Trueman Boulevard, Hilliard is a great location to put down roots for your family. This growing Columbus suburb isn’t just for homebuyers with kids. Hilliard offers a range of housing types, sizes and prices to ensure that the area meets the needs of all ages, income levels and cultures. Old Hilliard continues to attract residents with museums, parks, outdoor performances, monuments, farmers markets, festivals, parades and popular restaurants.
