Canal Winchester Area Chamber of Commerce General - Established as a village in 1811, the town was named after a resident's hometown of Winchester Virginia and the Ohio and Erie Canal that ran through the city. The Canal played an important role in the shaping of the city's history. As a stop on the canal route, many businesses set up shop in the area to take advantage of the stream of visitors along the canal. With four historic districts, many businesses and homes from that period can be viewed in the city today.

Ashbrook Village Neighborhoods - Along with several historic houses registered included in the National Register of Historic Places, there has been significant growth in new housing developments in the Canal Winchester area.
