About Mansfield

Located in north-central Ohio in the western foothills of the Allegheny Plateau, Richland County’s city of Mansfield was founded in 1808 on a fork of the Mohican River and grew into a manufacturing center at the intersection of a variety of railroads. Although heavy manufacturing decreased of late, the city has become a leader in the service economy, retailing, education, and healthcare. Residents of a Mansfield house or apartment for rent tend to work in Mansfield itself due to the distance of larger cities. Large employers include Westinghouse, the Tappan Company, AK Steel, General Motors Fisher Body, Newman Technology, Hyundal Ideal Electric Company, Therm-O-Disc, the Gorman-Rupp Company, and Crane Plumbing.

Residents of an apartment or home rental enjoy a tremendous amount of city-sponsored events and activities including the Mansfield/Mehock Relays, Miss Ohio Pageant, and Ohio State Fair. Other attractions include the Mansfield Art Center, Ohio State Reformatory, Oak Hill Cottage and Museum, Mansfield Memorial Museum, and the Living Bible Museum. Additionally, visitors and residents alike are attracted to Richland Carrousel Park, Mansfield Motorsports Park, Malabar Farm State Park, and Snow Trails Ski Resort. Mansfield also offers its residents a full complement of K-12 school campuses in addition to an Ohio State University regional campus, North Central State College, and MedCentral College of Nursing.
