Lima

Tucked along the Ottawa River amid the level farmland of northwestern Ohio, Lima is a city whose character is shaped by the region’s former wetland plains and agricultural surroundings. As the seat of Allen County, it serves as a regional centre for public services, shopping and healthcare, with a compact downtown surrounded by established residential districts. Petroleum discoveries around Lima sparked a late-19th-century oil boom, connecting the city to a defining chapter of Ohio industry; the Lima Refinery continues that association. Parks and paths along the Ottawa River provide a green thread through a city known for its practical role in the surrounding countryside.
