Tucked in the northwestern portion of Ohio, Defiance is located close to the Indiana border, 45 miles from Fort Wayne, Indiana, and 55 miles from Toledo, Ohio. First established in 1794 and home to Fort Defiance, the city of Defiance was built at the junction of the Auglaize and Maumee Rivers. Today, the fort’s two cannons still overlook the rivers. Defiance’s more than 16,000 residents usually work in town thanks to a booming local economy. Residents of a Defiance home or apartment for rent can usually find job openings at the General Motors; power train factory as well as other manufacturers of fiberglass, auto parts, and farming food products. Defiance City Schools administers public K-12 education for the city. Defiance College provides the community with many sports, cultural, and entertainment events that many similar-sized towns lack.
