#ArchCityRotary

Drawing hundreds of Zones 30-31 leaders together to Arch City.

Join Rotarians from Zones 30/31 as we gather under the Arches of the Short North neighborhood for fellowship, inspiration and service.

Columbus, Ohio, earned the nickname “The Arch City” due to the prominent arches that once spanned its streets. In 1888, the city installed wooden arches illuminated by gas lamps along High Street. By 1896, metal arches replaced the wooden ones, serving not only as street lighting but also as supports for electric streetcar wires. The illuminated arches became a symbol of the city, leading to the moniker “The Arch City.”
