The area now known as Westerville was originally settled around 1810. In 1818, three settlers of Dutch extraction named Matthew, Peter, and William Westervelt, migrated to the area from New York. In 1836, Matthew Westervelt donated land to be used for a Methodist church, and the settlement was named Westerville in the family’s honor. The Blendon Young Men’s Seminary was chartered in 1839, and Matthew was one of its first trustees. The seminary was purchased by the Church of the United Brethren in Christ in 1846. It was reformed the following year and renamed Otterbein College after the church’s founder, Philip William Otterbein. Westerville was platted by the year 1856, and incorporated in August 1858, during which time the town’s population was 275.
Several homes in Westerville were used as stops on the Underground Railroad—one of which is the Hanby House—located just a block from Otterbein College. The resident, Benjamin Russell Hanby, went on to write several familiar hymns and songs, including Darling Nelly Gray,Who is He in Yonder Stall? and the Christmas classic, Up On the Housetop.
