What it’s like
The place. West Unity is a small village in Williams County, Ohio, in the far northwest corner of the state. Household incomes here run above the county's, and most homes are lived in by their owners. Few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest. Rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year.
Work. Many residents work in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, and in shops. Across Williams County, the largest workplaces include Community Hospital of Williams City, the Kamco Industries plant in West Unity, which makes motor vehicle moldings and extrusions, and Spangler Candy Co. The county has fewer jobs than it did a year ago, and unemployment there is lower than it was a year earlier. Most people commute a short distance, and very few work from home.
Things to do. Goll Woods State Nature Preserve, Harrison Lake State Park and the Tiffin River Wildlife Area are all protected natural areas a short drive away, good for walking and time outdoors. Farther afield, a longer drive brings you to Fort Defiance, a historic fort site where rivers meet.
