Navarre, OH

Navarre is a village in southwestern Stark County where State Route 21, U.S. Route 62, the Wheeling and Lake Erie railroad, and the Tuscarawas River meet. The river forms the village's western edge, while the rail line runs through the center, giving Navarre a map shaped by water, road, and freight routes. The name comes from Navarre in Spain, and the village is part of Bethlehem and Perry townships. Fairless Local School District serves Navarre students, with the surrounding roads leading toward Canton and Massillon. Springwood Lake Camp and the North Industry Sportsmen Club sit outside the village core, adding nearby recreation areas to the local map. Navarre is a small Stark County village whose character is easiest to read from its transportation lines: a river at the edge, a railroad through the middle, and two state routes meeting local streets.
