New Albany is a city in the U.S. state of Ohio, just northeast of the state capital of Columbus. Most of the city is located in Franklin County and a small portion extends into adjacent Licking County. The population was 7,724 at the 2010 census. Founded in 1837, it is now a growing suburb in the Columbus area. New Albany is a very wealthy community, with a per capita income that ranks 12th out of 1,065 places in the state of Ohio.
New Albany is located at 40°4′43″N 82°49′14″W / 40.07861°N 82.82056°W (40.078643, −82.820618), northeast of Columbus at an elevation of 1,024 feet (312 m).
According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 11.70 square miles (30.30 km2), of which 11.56 square miles (29.94 km2) is land and 0.14 square miles (0.36 km2) is water.
New Albany is situated in the headwaters of the Rocky Fork Creek, a tributary of the Big Walnut Creek. The Rocky Fork Rose Run and Rocky Fork Sugar Run meander throughout the city. Blacklick Creek runs through the eastern end of the city.
The land that was to become the city was founded in the center of Plain Township in 1837 by Nobel Landon and William Yantis. Land was split into lots measuring 50 ft (15 m) by 100 ft (30 m) and sold to new settlers. One theory about the name "New Albany" is that some of the original settlers migrated from the Albany, New York area. During its history, the community has also been known by the name of "Hope."
