Fact text
- Westerville was once called the 'Dry Capital of the World', and when one businessman dared open a saloon, locals literally blew it up with gunpowder. Twice.
- The Anti-Saloon League mailed so much temperance propaganda from Westerville, over 40 tons per month, that this tiny town earned a first-class post office.
- A composer named Benjamin Hanby who lived in Westerville wrote 'Up on the Housetop,' meaning a Westerville resident basically invented the Santa-on-the-roof tradition.
- Hanby's Westerville home is the only state memorial to a composer in all of Ohio.
