Carroll County

Carroll County is a rural county in northeastern Ohio, spanning rolling hills across the Appalachian region. The area contains numerous small villages, townships, and communities scattered throughout the landscape.

The county was established in December 1832, formed from portions of five neighboring counties. Its creation followed an ancient Native American trade route that passed through the region.

The Great Trail Festival showcases local crafts and traditional music, reflecting the region's ties to French and Native American heritage. Visitors experience how communities here keep their roots alive through these gatherings.

Administrative offices are located in Carrollton and handle property records and resident services. The area is largely rural, so services and amenities are spread across smaller communities rather than concentrated in one place.

The area leads Ohio in nursery plant production and operates extensive oil well operations from Utica Shale deposits. This combination of farming and energy production defines the local economy in unexpected ways.
