Carrollton, OH

Tucked into the rolling hills of eastern Ohio, Carrollton serves as the welcoming heart of Carroll County. With a population of around 3,100, this historic village centers around its handsome 19th-century courthouse and a traditional downtown square. Founded in the early 1800s as a hub between regional market towns, it still retains that classic small-town feel where neighbors know each other and life moves at an easy, comfortable pace.
