Twenty miles east of Columbus out East Broad Street, Pataskala is in the "Land of Legend,” Licking County. In 1851, the Village of Pataskala received its first Post Office, and controversy grew over the name of "Conine" until finally the name of "Pataskala", which is an Indian word meaning "licking", and from that point the Village continued to grow until it was finally incorporated in 1891. Pataskala was declared to be a city in January of 1997.

The City of Pataskala encompasses 39 square miles of territory. Its boundaries begin at the Franklin/ Licking County lines on the west and extend to past Watkins road on the east. The northern boundary is south of CR. 25, Morse Road, and Jersey Township.
