Lake County's county seat
Located 30 miles east of Cleveland along the Grand River, Painesville is a small city built on history, diversity and industry. With a population of about 20,000 residents, it's the county seat of Lake County and offers a more urban option to the surrounding Painesville Township. Settled in 1800, it has transformed from a vacation destination to a booming metropolis to a run-down small town. Today, the city maintains historic districts that reflect the past, while growth moves the city into the future.
Painesville has invested heavily in its businesses, infrastructure and people. In the early 20th century, strong industrial growth and affordable homes attracted young immigrants from various backgrounds to the city. Because of this, Painesville's population is also relatively young, with a median age of just 31. Most of the population works in manufacturing, with major employers including Cintas and Avery Dennison, but healthcare and education follow closely behind. A proudly diverse population drives the city’s industry. "We have a lot of different groups of people who get along pretty well even though they're pretty different," says Kathleen Sullivan, public information officer for the city of Painesville. "About a quarter of our population is Hispanic, so you'll find lots of Hispanic restaurants, events during the summer and things like that. There's always something going on."
Painesville, Ohio is the county seat of Lake County.
Painesville Ohio is located along the Grand River and near the shores of Lake Erie.

Locally owned establishments for shopping and dining
Local chains and mom-and-pop shops create the commercial landscape of Painesville. While they are spread throughout the city, there is a concentration of business downtown, centered around South State Street and Main Street. "We have a couple of really old businesses that people still go to for their needs, so that speaks volumes," Sullivan says. "Even though we have a younger generation, people still honor those traditions and shop at these places that have been here forever. You don't see that everywhere, especially in other parts of Lake County where there are big box stores and strip malls." Residents can also purchase goods from the Painesville Farmers Market, held every Thursday in Painesville Square and runs from June through September. Big box stores sit on Mentor Avenue, south of the city.

A dozen parks and water recreation
Home to roughly a dozen parks and 2 miles south of Lake Erie, Painesville offers ample outdoor recreation. Kiwanis Recreation Park is one of the largest and is where the high school football and baseball teams play. It also offers river fishing, a picnic pavilion, disc golf and more. Headlands Beach State Park is about 3 miles north of Painesville and is the largest beach in Ohio. Sullivan notes that her favorite thing about living in the city is the water access and proximity to the beach.

Other annual events include Fall Fest, the Summer Kick Off Block Party and the Youth Fishing Derby.
