Located in north-central Ohio; Marion County is comprised of 15 townships that are situated across a variety of terrains ranging from gently rolling hillsand streams to broad prairies in the northern portion of the county. As the county seat of government; the city of Marion matured into a bustling center of industry and commerce; and the outlying villages of Caledonia; Clairdon; LaRue; Morral; Prospect; and Waldo provided nearby residents with services and community interaction closer to their rural homes. LaRue holds the distinction of being the smallest community ever awarded a National Football League franchise�the Oorang Indians; captained by Olympian Jim Thorpe. Animportant rail center; the city of Marion also welcomed the world in 1920 when Warren G. Harding conducted his front porch campaign from his home on Mount Vernon Avenue.
