About Shelby

Found in Richland County, Shelby was originally settled by Native Americans before the nation’s massive Westward Expansion. In 1846, the first train ran through the town providing the first train intersection west of the Allegheny Mountains. Located 90 miles southeast of Cleveland, along the I-71, most of Shelby’s residents work locally although a direct rail link to Cleveland makes the commute seamless. Residents of a Shelby home or apartment for rent also enjoy easy connections out of Hopkins International Airport which can be reached directly from Shelby via the rail system. Shelby’s local parks, namely Seltzer Park, Rabold Park, Easterling Park, McBride Park, and Memorial Park, provide ample recreation space for residents of a Shelby apartment or house rental. Various parks offer organized youth league and adult league sports during their respective seasons. The Shelby County Mall provides residents with an excellent shopping venue although most residents prefer the retail selection at malls closer to Cleveland. A five school system allows residents some degree of choice in K-12 education, with those students seeking higher education attending schools in Cleveland.
