About Mantua

Pronounced "MAN-a-way," Mantua is a small village set along the Cuyahoga River in northern Portage County. Located about twenty miles northeast of Akron and within reach of Cleveland, it offers a peaceful rural feel while keeping State Route 44 and the Ohio Turnpike close by for easy daily commutes. Historic storefronts, quiet residential streets, and scenic riverbanks give the community a classic small-town character.

Outdoor recreation is easy to come by, with the Headwaters Trail passing directly through town and Buchert Park offering walking paths and river views right beside downtown. Community spirit peaks every September during the annual Mantua Potato Festival, a weekend tradition celebrating the area's farming history with food, rides, and local music. Families are served by the Crestwood Local School District, which conveniently keeps its middle and high school campuses right in town.
