About Galena
Galena is a quiet, scenic village nestled along the northern tip of Hoover Reservoir in Delaware County. With around a thousand residents, it has a peaceful, small-town feel surrounded by water, woods, and open green space. The historic center features a classic village green and local gathering spots, giving the community a relaxed pace just minutes from central Ohio's busier suburbs.
Families are drawn to the area for the strong Big Walnut Local School District and the easy access to the outdoors. You can spend weekends kayaking on the reservoir, exploring the nature trails at Ruffner Park, or biking the Ohio to Erie Trail into neighboring Sunbury. When you need city amenities, Interstate 71 and Route 3 make for a quick drive to Polaris, Westerville, and downtown Columbus.
