Wadsworth, OH

Wadsworth is a Medina County city in northeast Ohio, southwest of Akron. A post office has operated under the Wadsworth name since 1823, and the city has kept a strong local identity as the region around it has grown. Wadsworth City School District is the largest employer, making schools a major civic presence. The annual Blue Tip Festival, with a parade, rides, food, games, and entertainment, is the signature local event. Wadsworth feels like an established Ohio city with small-town traditions and suburban reach.
