The cultural capital of Northern Ohio, the murals on the walls of the town like recreations of Vincent Van Gogh’s Starry Night prove as much. It is the county seat of Hancock County. It is historically remembered as the state that was a stop of the Underground Railway for the slaves on their way to Canada. Findlay is a small town but has made giant leaps in the field of industrialization since its birth.
