Delaware, Ohio

Like the fine racing standardbreds in the world-famous "Little Brown Jug", Delaware has kept its head while quickening the pace. Citizens, community leaders and consultants are working together to guide the development of new residential areas and expanded community services, while maintaining Delaware's distinctive character.

The Delaware lifestyle includes the cultural offerings of a national liberal arts university, an unusual variety of recreational opportunities and the excitement of "The Little Brown Jug." One of the jewels in the Triple Crown of Grand Circuit harness racing, "The Jug" brings thousands of visitors to Delaware each fall.

The City of Delaware is the seat of Delaware County, 30 miles north of downtown Columbus, the Ohio state capitol. It is an independent community that has retained its small town qualities while benefiting recently from growth moving northward from the thriving Columbus region. Delaware County is the fastest growing county in Ohio, identified nationally as one of the 20 fastest growing, wealthiest and most educated areas of the country.
