About Chillicothe

Forty-six miles south of Columbus, Ohio on Highway 23, Ross County’s Chillicothe is located in southern Ohio along the Scioto River. Translated from its Shawnee name, Chillicothe means "principal town,” representative as its status as the first and third capital of the state. The city of 22,000 residents is surrounded by many farming communities on the foothills of the Appalachians. Although residents of a Chillicothe apartment or home for rent will enjoy the convenience of shopping centers and jobs in the city center, many commute to Columbus for work.
