Alexandria is a picturesque village in St. Alban's township, Licking County, Ohio. The village was founded in 1830 by Alexandria DeVilbis and has a population of around 600. We are proud to be the home of the highly rated Northridge School District. Alexandria is an active and vibrant community.

Our mayor, village council members, township trustees and award-winning fire department are working hard to insure a safe and high quality of life for all the citizens of the village and township.
