The Small Town In Ohio Called Center of the World

Did you know the center of the world is actually right here in Ohio?

Well, kind of. Actually, Ohio is just home to a small community named Center of the World, which most people don’t know about. (Ohio is also home to a small community called Utopia. You can read all about it here.) So where exactly is this little town and why is it called Center of the World? Read on to find out:

Tucked away in northeast Ohio's Trumubll County, a small unincorporated community called Center of the World is hiding. (Pictured is the Courthouse Square in Warren.)

Known for being home to Ohio's First Civil War Monument, located in Bristol Township Park, most people don't know this county is also home to Center of the World.

Near Braceville Township, you'll find this unique (and tiny) community. It consists of homes and a few small retail establishments near the crossroads where State Routes 82 and 5 diverge.

Why is it called "Center of the World", you ask? Supposedly, an investor had plans to make the community a significant economic center several years ago. However, overtime the nearby city of Warren became the regional hub, and Center of the World stayed humble and small.
