The City of Perrysburg is one of five Ohio cities that will be recognized in Ohio Magazine’s annual Best Hometowns issue, which will be published November 1. Perrysburg is on the list with Athens, Bellefontaine, Kent, and Versailles as great places to live, work and visit.

To determine this year’s honorees, Ohio Magazine solicited nominations in the spring and conducted visits across the state over the summer. The editors evaluated finalists in six categories — Community Spirit, Education, Entertainment, Health and Safety, Business Environment, and Culture and Heritage — to help make their selections.

The magazine’s editors chose Perrysburg for its charming downtown, great schools and appreciation for local history.

Each of Ohio Magazine’s Best Hometowns honorees will be featured in both the November/December 2022 and July/August 2023 issues of the magazine and online at ohiomagazine.com, giving readers a look at what makes each community special. Those selected are encouraged to mark the honor throughout the year.
