Family-Friendly University Business Historic Charming

Equidistant from Akron and Canton with about 20 miles to each, Orrville provides options for commuters who prefer a quieter, more close-knit community to call home. This family-friendly city is home to the JM Smucker Company, founded here in 1897, Smith Dairy, founded here in 1909, and the University of Akron-Wayne College. Orrville wraps around its historic downtown core, a charming Main Street lined with restaurants and shops along wide sidewalks.

The history of Orrville dates back to 1814, when James Taggart was awarded some land near what is now Main Street. His son, Samuel Taggart, built a house in 1828 that still stands on East Fike Street. The house, which is a private residence, served as a stop on the Underground Railroad during the Civil War. The town is named for another early resident, Smith Orr, a prominent landowner and judge.
