The community was first settled around 1801, two years before Ohio became a state. It was named "Middlebury" at the time, because the first settlers came from the Middlebury, Connecticut area. In 1857, Judge Thomas Powell established the first post office in the community, and the residents decided to adopt his name. Powell was finally incorporated as a municipality in 1947. The population remained small until the late 1980s, when residential development expanding from the northern Columbus metropolitan area reached Powell. In twenty years, the population rose from less than 400 to over 6,000. Middlebury is a town located in New Haven County, Connecticut. ...

In July of 2005, CNN/Money and Money magazine ranked Powell 18 on its list of the 100 Best Places to Live in the United States.

The general Powell area is usually interpreted to mean not only the incorporated City of Powell, but also the adjoining unincorporated areas of Liberty and Orange townships.

Economy

As an upscale bedroom community for Columbus, lying within its statistical metropolitan area, most residents of Powell work in Columbus or one of its suburbs. Powell is noted for a historic central business district, which features a number of antique shops and similar enterprises. Powell is comprised of mostly upscale and luxury neighborhoods, including Wedgewood, Golf Village, River Bend, Chambers Glenn, The Retreat, The Chase, Ashmoore, Canterbury and Sherbourne. Homes in Powell range from $50,000 to $3,000,000. Apart from this distinction, Powell is home to typical midwestern restaurants and supermarkets, but due to the wishes of the residents, past and present, does not host any major industrial, financial, or technological businesses. This is apparent through the "Wal-Mart dispute", which a group of citizens formed. It is currently The Community Oversight Foundation to fight against Wal-Mart on the grounds that Wal-Mart would be detrimental to the preservation of the historic nature of Powell and would harm the current property values. However, in adjoining Liberty Township, the Columbus Zoo and its soon to be open water park Zoombezi Bay, O'Shaughnessy Dam, and the Olentangy Indian Caverns, offer residents and visitors alike, entertainment and recreational options.
