Centered at the crossroads of St. Rte. 44 and U.S. Rte. 6, Chardon is among the early communities in the Western Reserve. As is typical in county seats developed in a rural area, the City Square features the County courthouse, numerous local businesses and a variety of eateries. Immediately adjacent are residential neighborhoods highlighted by well-kept century homes.
Chardon covers just under 4.5 square miles and has a population of approximately 5,300. With an expected build-out of nearly 9,400, a great deal of residential and commerical development is expected in the coming years.
In summary, Chardon is seen as a typical, small, mid-west town promoting the best such a community can provide. Offering a safe environment, excellent schools and superior city services, in 2004 Chardon was rated Cleveland’s second best suburb by Cleveland Magazine.
Sitting approximately 35 miles east of downtown Cleveland, Chardon is widely recognized as the center of Ohio’s maple syrup industry as well as the center of the state’s snowbelt. Home to the Geauga County Maple Festival, the City annually celebrates the rich history of this locally produced product. Averaging over 105 inches of snow per year, residents take pride in the notoriety the community receives from the heavy snowfall and the ability to fully function in adverse weather conditions.
