About Wooster

Wooster is a Wayne County city in northeast Ohio, established in 1808 and named for Revolutionary War general David Wooster. The College of Wooster is one of the city's defining institutions, giving it a steady academic and cultural presence. Wooster also serves as a practical regional center for Wayne County, with health care, schools, shops, and local arts through places such as the Wayne Center for the Arts. It feels like an Ohio college town with courthouse-city substance: historic, useful, and quietly civic.
