Welcome to the Canal Winchester Chamber of Commerce!

Why the Canal Winchester Area?

Having both a rich historical heritage and quality, well planned growth, Canal Winchester combines the best of the past, the present, and the future! Main Street has retained its “old-time” look and Canal Winchester is well known for its antique downtown shopping in the original buildings. The Canal Winchester area have experienced record business & population growth the past couple of years. This growth is being guided to preserve the quality of life that is enjoyed & cherished in Canal Winchester.

Our community is a vibrant and historic town located approximately 15 miles southeast of downtown Columbus, Ohio. Established in 1828, Canal Winchester has a rich history in agriculture, commerce and transportation. From 1831 until 1902, the Ohio and Erie Canal was routed through what today is historic downtown Canal Winchester. Now positioned along U.S. Route 33 in Franklin and Fairfield counties, this growing community - which still boasts plenty of small town charm - is within a 10 minute drive of central Ohio's major interstate highways, international airports and big city amenities.
