About Bowling Green

Bowling Green is a northwest Ohio city and the home of Bowling Green State University. First settled in the 1830s, it grew from a small town into a regional education and manufacturing center. The university gives the city its most obvious rhythm, bringing students, sports, arts, and a busier downtown than its size might suggest. Local industry, including Lubrizol's production plant, adds a working side to the college-town identity. Bowling Green feels practical, youthful, and deeply tied to campus life.
