About Nelsonville

Sixty miles southeast of the state’s capital, the city of Nelsonville is home to more than 5,000 Ohioans. The city’s main street, Canal Street, is located on top of where the old Hocking Canal once ran. With historical roots and a deep heritage, Nelsonville was formed as a result of the booming coal industry. Although that specialty has since disappeared, most residents find work locally at the Rocky Shoes factory, Rocky Gear Store, SEPTA Center, and a range of correctional facilities located just outside the city. Because of Nelsonville’s distance from larger cities, residents of an apartment or house for rent in Nelsonville have learned to treasure community events like the Parade of the Hills Festival, Ohio State Fiddling Contest, and Great Outdoor Adventure.

Residents of a Nelsonville house or apartment rental have access to the Nelsonville-York City School District’s multiple campuses across the city as well as the Athens County Public Library system. Hocking College is located nearby for those students wishing to pursue higher education locally. Although Nelsonville is far from other large cities, most residents find the Canal Street strip, the main commercial district, is adequate for day-to-day needs. Residents of Nelsonville also look forward to Final Friday celebrations that feature retailers, art, and shows at historic Stuart’s Opera House.
