Galena

With a population of just 1,200 according to the 2022 Census, Galena is a quaint and charming village in central Ohio. Established in 1809 as a mill seat, the 0.6 square mile community is ideally situated between Big and Little Walnut Creeks, making it perfect for millraces and water-powered grist and sawmills. Originally named Zoar, the village was renamed Galena in 1924, possibly after the natural mineral form of lead sulfide found locally. Over the years, Galena has flourished into a thriving small town, continually expanding its industrial base. The construction of a railroad line in 1873 further boosted local business. Although the railroad is mostly defunct now, a section of it serves as a walking trail for residents.
