If Northland were its own incorporated city, it would be the seventh-largest one in Ohio.
Although many people might think of Northland Mall as the area's top retail destination during the 1960s, ’70s and ’80s, there was another popular shopping center — The Continent.
The centerpiece was its French Market complete with a water fountain, where visitors could buy food from local vendors.But as newer malls like Easton and Polaris Fashion Place began opening in other parts of the city, The Continent and Northland Mall experienced a decline in foot traffic. Northland was closed in 2002, and The Continent is mostly empty with the exception of its apartment complexes.
The plan was to open a theme park or animal reserve, but that plan didn't come to fruition. The herd of about 160 animals eventually was moved to Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, Virginia, in 1974.How Northland's Global Mall became a landmark for Columbus' Somali community
