Sparta, Ohio. Even the Greeks would be appeased by this lovely little town named after Sparta in Greece. However, there is nothing ancient about this Sparta.

Friendly folks, plenty of rural and in town living opportunities, access to nearby, big cities, and modern shopping facilities make Sparta a great place for families to live.

Sparta have over 6,000 residents. Just enough people live in this town that you will soon know or at least recognize each other. For those whom wish to stay in their homes far from anyone, the outskirts of town offer country living for the more isolated families and individuals.
