Wooster

Wooster is the county seat of Wayne County in northeastern Ohio and serves as the administrative center for the area. The city sits near several natural features including Killbuck Creek that flows through its territory.

The city was founded in 1808 by John Bever, William Henry, and Joseph Larwill, who named it after General David Wooster from the Revolutionary War. This early establishment shaped it into a regional center for the area.

The Wayne Center for the Arts hosts exhibitions and events throughout the year for residents and visitors. The College of Wooster brings students and cultural activities that shape life in the region.

The city is easily accessible from Cleveland and offers fiber-based internet connectivity to residents and visitors. Public transportation is served by the Wooster Fixed Route Transportation system that provides connections throughout the area.

The region is known for its dairy farming heritage and maintains a sister city connection with Collepietro in Italy's Abruzzo region. This international partnership links the community to a small Italian town.
