The City of Upper Arlington was incorporated in 1918 and has grown into a primarily residential community of approximately 34,000 residents covering 9.67 square miles. The City enjoys a convenient location as a first-ring suburb of Central Ohio, with easy access to downtown Columbus, the Columbus airport and major highways.
Upper Arlington residents take pride in their community and many are actively involved in numerous organizations, volunteer boards and commissions of the City government, cultural and recreational activities, and more.
Upper Arlington is run under the Council/Manager form of government, combining the strong political leadership of elected officials with the strong managerial experience of an appointed manager (see the Administration section for full details of City Council and City Administration).
Having recently adopted its new Master Plan (see the Master Plan section for full details), Community Leaders and City Staff are committed to undertaking a major endeavor to revitalize and realize the community’s vision for the future. The new Master Plan serves as a guiding document that preserves and enhances the quintessential residential nature of Upper Arlington, while encouraging the development of existing commercial areas as higher-density mixed-use centers.
