Sidney, OH

Sidney is the county seat of Shelby County, along the Great Miami River in western Ohio. Named for Sir Philip Sidney, it began from a 70-acre parcel and grew into a manufacturing and business center. The city has several company headquarters and branch operations, giving it more economic weight than many towns its size. Seasonal traditions like the corn maze at Vandermark's Farm add local flavor. Sidney feels sturdy, civic, and work-oriented, with river history, factories, schools, and farm country around it.
