About La Rue
La Rue is a quiet, close-knit village tucked in the farmland west of Marion. Life here moves at a relaxed pace, with peaceful residential streets, wide-open rural views, and neighbors who know each other by name. The community has a colorful backstory, too. In the 1920s, local resident Walter Lingo ran a world-famous Airedale terrier kennel and founded the Oorang Indians, an early NFL team that featured legendary athlete Jim Thorpe.
Local kids attend the Elgin Local School District, while shopping, dining, and healthcare are an easy drive down the road in Marion. Community pride comes alive each June during the Oorang Bang festival, where residents get together for food, games, and dog-friendly events. For anyone looking for affordable country living, quiet nights, and friendly neighbors, La Rue offers a relaxed slice of rural Ohio.
