Sitting amid the rolling hills and farmlands of northeast Ohio is Wayne County, a mix of small commercial cities and rural townships steeped in agricultural tradition. Though modest in size at just over 550 square miles, Wayne County is most known for its two largest cities of Wooster and Orrville.
Wooster serves as the county seat and is home to the prestigious College of Wooster. This knowledge-based community still retains its small-town charm and downtown filled with local shops and eateries. Just 10 miles south lies Orrville, founded by entrepreneur J.M. Orr and known historically for its stove and boiler manufacturing.
Dotting the countryside is a variety of tiny rural villages like Dalton, Marshallville, and West Salem where local agriculture continues to fuel the economy. In the north lies the unincorporated community of Apple Creek, centered around its main street lined with stores and restaurants. And on the eastern edge sits the village of Kidron, home to the Lehman's hardware store frequented by the local Amish community.
While not a major population center, Wayne County's mix of small commercial hubs combined with its dedication to rural tradition and Amish countryside life provides a uniquely charming corner of Ohio. From college-town culture to the quiet of country roads, the cities and towns of Wayne County hark back to a simpler time.
