About Sterling

Nestled in northern Wayne County, Sterling is a quiet, close-knit community of around 400 people that offers plenty of small-town charm. The area has roots reaching back to the mid-1800s, when early founder Joseph Ross laid out tree-lined streets and built the historic Ross House on Kauffman Avenue. Today, Sterling provides a peaceful rural atmosphere with open farmland, quiet neighborhood roads, and an easy commute to nearby towns like Rittman and Wooster. It is a welcoming spot for anyone looking for a slower pace of life, friendly neighbors, and a bit of Ohio history right outside their front door.
