About the Area

Delaware, founded in 1808, offers country living at its best. It is the fastest growing suburban county in the state of Ohio. Delaware is known for its highly rated public schools and The Little Brown Jug, an annual harness horse racing event. It is also the location of Ohio Wesleyan University. Well-established neighborhoods are home to a relatively even mix of blue and white-collar workers, including professors and students from Ohio Wesleyan University. Delaware is home to churches, popular dining spots, the historic Strand Theatre, The Arts Castle, a farmer’s market, and a new recreation center. The historic suburb is perhaps best known, however, for its large houses and estates.
