Over a century ago the founders of the firm that became the giant Libbey-Owens-Ford Glass Co., noted that an area just outside of Toledo, Ohio offered the three advantages that have always attracted development - "Location, location, location." They saw that the convergence of highway, railway, and the presence of the Great Lakes Port nearby, gave them access to regional, national and worldwide markets.

Five Generations later the vision is a reality. Rossford, Ohio has become a prosperous, energetic community which is an ideal place to do business, but more importantly, a great community in which to live.

• A community with a high level of municipal services, where both public and private schools are considered to be outstanding.
• A community where recreational facilities and programs serve the children, families and senior citizens.
• A safe community, with crime statistics far below the national and regional averages.

Education is a valued community asset in Rossford where most high school graduates go on to higher educational facilities. Complimenting the community's excellent public and private schools are Owens Community College, the University of Toledo, Medical College of Ohio and Bowling Green State University, all within minutes of Rossford. Among the fruits of educational excellence is the fact that Rossford's public library system has one of the highest patron-use in the U.S. and the community's choral and drama programs have been recognized as well.

Rossford's location adjacent to Toledo and near major universities makes the world of art and entertainment available to all. In addition to the rich traditions of several community theater organizations, Rossford residents enjoy the benefits of the Toledo Museum of Art, rated among the top five art museums nationally, the Toledo Zoo, recognized as among the top ten zoos in the United States, and the Toledo Symphony Orchestra. All are among the enriching facets of the area. Regional attractions within 20 minutes of Rossford include planetariums, historical museums, harness racing and the Ohio Baseball Hall of Fame, as well as Great Lakes charter boats and river and waterfront excursion boats. A regional metro parks system is among the best in the United States.
