About Historic Westville

Historic Westville is a small, rural community located approximately 10 miles northwest of the Columbus city limits, this vibrant community has been around since 1819, when James Mays built his log cabin on the spot. It was originally founded as a trading post and became known mainly for its rich farming soil; in fact, many of the roads are still lined with cotton fields that have been farmed for generations. It is also a charming mix of old and new.
