New Albany, Ohio

New Albany grew from 7,724 to 10,825 between 2010 and 2020. These are the recorded population figures Wikidata holds for this place, reached through the Geographic Names Information System number this page is keyed on rather than by name, so they belong to this place and not to another of the same name. Most are census counts, but not all are: an early figure may be a founding or settlement estimate. The change column is computed, and is left blank where more than 20 years separate a figure from the one before it, because a gap that long is not a change between two counts.

History of Franklin County [Ohio]:, published 1858 names this settlement in its chapter on Plain Township. These are the passages that mention it, exactly as the scans read.

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 1 fire within 5 miles of New Albany between 2009 and 2009, burning about 1 acres in total. None started naturally. None was recorded as arson. Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a fire counted here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.

The most recent of them, most recent first, with the day each was reported and the service that recorded it.

Settlements close enough to share some of these fires:

• Ackerly Park
• Ealy Crossing
• Hampstead Heath
• Hamptons At New Albany
• Pickett Place
• Woods At Sugar Run

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 1,750 specimens collected within 10 miles of New Albany between 1890 and 1975: 1,720 Animalia, 19 Plantae, 11 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A C Whitney, A. J. Penniman, A. P. Morgan and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.
