NATURAL RESOURCES
Agriculture
is also big business in the Rittman area which Bauman
Orchards (1928) owes much of its success. Wayne County
is rated near the top in Ohio in dollar value of crops produced.
The area is well endowed with a balance of these items necessary
to encourage an ever-expanding economy.

QUALITY LOCATION The City of Rittman is located in Northeast Wayne County and Southeast Medina County. Within an hour's drive of Cleveland and even closer to Akron, Canton, Massillon and Wooster, Rittman's economy benefits from its proximity to these and major Midwest markets. Our residents benefit from the amenities of these larger communities while choosing to live in a more country like atmosphere. In addition, residents of Rittman can take advantage of the Post Office and Rittman Library (a branch of Wayne County Public Library) located downtown. |
