my county


My county is a paradox. It holds the superlative as one of the fastest growing counties in the state and, at one time, the entire country. I live near the center of the county.

The booming growth lies to the south of us, but to the north you will find stunningly peaceful, quietly beautiful, rich farmland. Trains daily blow their whistles as they journey through Delaware County.

Tidy family farms dot the landscape and I never tire of a drive through this gentle countryside. It speaks strongly and lovingly of the generations who have worked the land to produce corn and soybeans. I love my county!
