Orange Township is the anchor in the Lewis Center zip code which is 43035

Lewis Center does not have an official identity. From the area history that I have read Lewis Center was named after the William L. Lewis family that donated land for a railroad station. I am thinking that the railroad station might have been located at the current railroad crossing on Lewis Center Road but there is no evidence of that today. There is no Lewis Center town center or village green like the neighboring communities of Worthington, Westerville and Powell. Residents that live in the Lewis Center zip code consider the geographic area they live in as Lewis Center

Boundaries

The majority of Orange Township lies within the Lewis Center zip code; a small portion of the township sits in the Powell and Delaware zip codes. The south boundary is Lazelle Rd. the west boundary juts a few miles from the east side of the Olentangy River which abuts Liberty township, the north boundary extends to Shanahan Rd and the east boundary extends a few miles east of Africa Rd which abuts Genoa Township. Orange Township has a population of about 15,000 residents, encompasses almost 22 square miles, is 20 miles north of downtown Columbus and is south of the City of Delaware, and sits in Southern Delaware County. Orange Township has experienced a tremendous amount of growth from 1990 thru 2006.

Growth

Orange Township’s population increased from 3,789 to 12,464 between 1990 and 2000. Many building permits were approved during that time period which included both residential and commercial developments. The orange township trustees along with the zoning board members were extremely busy revising and approving the plans for all this development. I personally built a home in Orange Township in 1989; at that time Orange Township was a very rural area the nearest grocery store was 10 miles away. By 1999 three major grocery stores opened in the township. Around this time a major defeat hit the township a large portion of the township was annexed into Columbus so that a retail expansion was able to come to fruition which is now known today as the Polaris Fashion Place. This area has become a huge retail shopping Mecca; many restaurants were also built a truly wonderful shopping and dining experience. These establishments are in the Columbus City limits with a Lewis Center mailing address.

Parks

As an orange township resident pre-township development expansion many of my neighbors were instrumental in laying the ground work for the Orange Township parks that exist today. The residents voiced their opinions and the trustees listened which resulted in 3 wonderful parks for residents to enjoy which include North Orange, Ro Park and the Orange Township Hall Park. The North Orange park includes an awesome pool, soccer and ball fields, walking trails, a picnic shelter pavilion with a huge stone fireplace. At the Ro Park you will find the tallest play equipment in the state, along with a huge umbrella canopy to shade everyone on those hot summer days. I have been watching the progress of the soon to be completed Leisure Trail that will connect the Villages of Oak Creek subdivision with the Township Hall Park which includes a stocked pond with fishing being allowed on a catch and release basis, gazebo and picnic tables.

Township Hall

In 2000 the Orange Township trustees started to realize that a larger township hall was needed to serve the residents, so an estate was purchased from the Holderman family which encompassed 25 acres. I loved that the township didn’t build a modern building they purchased an existing estate, remodeled it and has preserved the beautiful land that surrounds the hall. It’s quite fitting that the township hall sits somewhat in the middle of the Lewis Center geographic zip code boundary. If you want to call Orange Township your home there is a good selection of single family homes and condominiums in all price ranges for first time home buyers and mid range buyer’s, along with exclusive multi million dollar estates. Something for everyone a beautiful place to call home.
