About Wilmington

Wilmington is a welcoming southwest Ohio town of about 12,500 residents that serves as the county seat of Clinton County. Located roughly an hour from Cincinnati, Dayton, and Columbus, it offers a relaxed, small-town lifestyle while keeping big-city conveniences close at hand. The historic downtown is filled with local shops, familiar diners, and handsome brick buildings, all surrounded by quiet neighborhoods.

College Hall at Wilmington College

The community's Quaker heritage still shapes its friendly character, thanks in large part to historic Wilmington College near the center of town. Locals look forward to yearly traditions like the Banana Split Festival, the Clinton County Corn Festival, and the Hometown Holidazzle holiday parade. With steady jobs in logistics and healthcare, plus easy weekend getaways to Cowan Lake State Park, Wilmington makes for a comfortable place to call home.
