City of Oberlin

Oberlin has it all – the quiet life of a small town, the services of a large city, and the music and art of the world. It has been called “the most cosmopolitan small town in America”.

The town was founded in 1833, at the same time as Oberlin College, one of the nation’s leading liberal arts colleges. The community has a rich and diverse history, representing many different cultures and interests. The charm of Oberlin can be found in the many tree-lined streets, in a historic downtown with unique shops and a variety of restaurants, and most importantly, in its people. A bike path winds through the community, perfect for outdoor enthusiasts and athletes.
