Worthington Ohio was a transplanted New England Village, settled by people from Connecticut and Massachusetts. Worthington is a Columbus suburb inside the 270 north outer-belt. Worthington has a village green that is still used today, but cows do not graze there as they once did... (there are cows down the road but that's a different story... ) The village of Worthington was founded in 1803. The original village called Worthington was between Morning Street and Evening Street and between North Street and South Street and is now known as the Old Worthington neighborhood.
