German Village is a historic neighborhood in Columbus, Ohio, just south of downtown. It was settled by a large number of German immigrants in the early-to-mid-19th century, who at one time comprised as much as a third of the city's entire population. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 30, 1974, becoming the largest privately-funded preservation district on the list, and in 2007, was made a Preserve America Community by the White House. On November 28, 1980, its boundaries were increased and today is one of the premier historic restorations in the world. - Source: Wikipedia
