New Albany was originally a small town on the edge of Franklin County up until around the 1990s when companies like Limited Brands and Abercrombie & Fitch expanded operations in the area and L-Brands’ billionaire founder, Les Wexner, chose to build his mansion here — the second largest in Ohio. Other companies such as Bob Evans, Discover Financial Services and State Farm Insurance have started or have since moved headquarters to this area of Columbus. The Suburb was recently named the #1 Suburb in America by Business Insider and consistently ranks near the top in similar surveys and studies — proximity to nearest metro area/average commute times, favorable median household incomes, crime rates and public school ratings. Affluence abound, home to The New Albany Country Club, The Enclave at New Albany and New Albany Links.
