Announcements & News

Shelby, Ohio

Shelby is the epitome of quaint, rural America.

A tight-knit community that fiercely takes care of its own, and a football town whose stadium smack in the middle of town speaks to the Friday night lights as the religion that it is in this community. Once a bustling rural town, thanks to the railroad and invention of the seamless steel tube, it was home to more millionaires per capita than any other community this side of the Mississippi. Today, the community features a center for advanced learning, a career and technology center, excellent health care options, and large industrial companies along with smaller, home-grown manufacturers and service providers.
