About Ohio City

Ohio City is a quiet, tight-knit village of around 650 people located just a few miles south of Van Wert in northwest Ohio. It started out in the late 1800s under names like Van Wert Junction and Enterprise, but when duplicate mail delivery forced a change, residents went bold and settled on Ohio City. Today, it offers a peaceful rural setting where neighbors know each other, along with an easy commute to shopping, dining, and jobs in nearby towns.

Ohio City OH

The biggest weekend of the year is Lambert Days every July, celebrating John Lambert, who built one of America's first gasoline-powered cars right here in 1891. The festival brings the whole community together for a parade, car shows, community cookouts, and softball tournaments at the park. With its own local branch of the Brumback Library, quiet residential streets, and a relaxed pace of life, it makes a comfortable home base for anyone looking for classic small-town Ohio living.
