The metropolitan area of Columbus is actually smaller in population than those of the other two largest cities in Ohio, [[Cleveland, Ohio|Cleveland]] and [[Cincinnati, Ohio|Cincinnati]].  This is because of an aggressive annexation policy dating back to the 1950s, in which the city repeatedly incorporated growing suburbs and areas.  It nonetheless has many suburbs, such as [[Westerville, Ohio|Westerville]], [[Dublin, Ohio]], and [[Bexley, Ohio|Bexley]].
