MARYSVILLE

FOUNDED 1819 | POPULATION 26,223 | COUNTY Union

A pleasant mix of hometown friendliness and suburban excitement, Marysville is a big draw for families, which is fitting considering that the town’s founder named the city after his daughter, Mary.

Located about 35 miles northwest of Columbus, this county seat is home to two major manufacturers: Honda of America Manufacturing opened its first U.S. location just outside Marysville in 1979, and ScottsMiracle-Gro has been headquartered there since 1868.

The Historic Uptown district, with its restaurants, parks and iconic Union County Courthouse, hosts several community events each year. Another uptown attraction is the Avalon Theatre, which opened in 1936 and was recently transformed into a cultural arts center. Marysville is also home to five golf courses.
