Columbus has been receiving a lot of great national press in recent years, and that continued when CNN called the city a top Memorial Day weekend destination. The recent opening of the National Veterans Memorial, the first of its kind in the country, seemed to play a prominent role in the decision.
The National Veterans Memorial on the Scioto Peninsula, completed in 2018.
And here were the top 25 cities with the highest numeric growth 2010-2018. 1. Columbus: +105,500 2. Hilliard: +7,979 3. Dublin: +6,896 4. Grove City: +6,050 5. Cincinnati: +5,662 6.

Columbus’ growth is very impressive in Ohio, but it has also been a top 15 fastest-growing city in the country for the past few years now, and there appears to be little standing in the way of that continuing.
