Troy, Ohio is a thriving Midwestern community that is proud of its past, but continually focused on building an even more successful future.
Widely-recognized for its "can-do" business and community spirit, Troy offers all the benefits and security of a progressive small town with the convenience of being a short drive from three of the Ohio's largest cities.

Locally, we say "Troy, Ohio, where civic pride is community-wide" and that is evident in the excellent, updated schools, in the state of the art health care system, in the extraordinary community parks and recreational facilities, in the plentiful housing and well-kept neighborhoods and in the great retail and dining choices.
