Defiance City

There are many options for lifelong learning, including public and private educational systems and churches of many denominations. Located in the city is the newly completed Defiance City Schools and Athletic Facilities campus, and we have several parochial elementary schools as well. We are also the home of Defiance College – Go Yellow Jackets! With a strong economy, many career and business opportunities abound. Several small businesses line the thriving beautiful downtown district and neighborhood business corridors. Our north side houses regional shopping and larger retailers to complete your shopping needs. New development is always welcome as we consistently strive for progress in the city. Nestled at the confluence of the the Maumee River, a state Scenic and Recreational River, and the Auglaize River, a lesson rich in history of the past several hundred years with stories of American Indians, American & British military, and the site of a fort that offered protection and defied “all the devils in hell” await.
