I love Norwalk. I was born and raised in Norwalk. Norwalk has a strong sense of community. The City of Norwalk truly is "the best little city"� in Ohio. Located one hour west of Cleveland, one hour east of Toledo, two hours north of Columbus. Norwalk also has a great park & recreation center. It is also home to Summit Raceway, adored by race fans all over the Country! Here is a fact about Norwalk: IN 1809, THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT GRANTED LAND FROM ITS WESTERN RESERVE IN OHIO AS COMPENSATION TO THOSE WHO LOST PROPERTY DURING THE BRITISH RAIDS. THE "FIRE SUFFERERS LANDS"� BECAME KNOWN AS THE "FIRELANDS."� THE FIRST PERMANENT SETTLERS CAME TO NORWALK TOWNSHIP IN 1809, THE SAME YEAR HURON COUNTY WAS FORMED. THE SETTLERS LOCATED NEAR THE BRICK SCHOOL ON OLD STATE ROAD AT THE SOUTH EDGE OF MILAN. HURON COUNTY WAS OFFICIALLY ORGANIZED IN 1815 AND TRANSFERRED THE COUNTY SEAT TO NORWALK IN 1818 FROM THE ORIGINAL SITE NORTH OF MILAN. I have an office in Norwalk, at 201 Milan Ave, Suite B. Stop by and see me and our associates or call to schedule a private meeting 419-663-2121 or 419-681-1318. If you are looking to buy or sell in the Norwalk area, I would love to be your first point of contact and have you as a client for life!
