Located near Perrysburg and Rossford, Waterville is a suburb only a few miles away from the shores of Lake Erie. Some of Waterville's homes for rent sit on the banks of the Maumee River, one of the Ohio Valley's most important sources of drinking water as settlers started to move west from the original 13 colonies. As a result, Waterville has many buildings that reflect the history of a community growing throughout the ages.

Fun Facts About Waterville

• Waterville was first founded in 1831 by John Pray, a veteran of the War of 1812 who had moved to Ohio to work as a prospector of land for large companies that bought it up and parceled it off to private citizens.
• Every March, schools of walleye start flocking up the Maumee River. More than 500,000 fish that are 18 to 24 inches long jump out of the water on their way to spawning groups downriver from Lake Erie, and renters can enjoy premier sport fishing without ever leaving town.
• In the center of Waterville, the Columbian House stands as a 182-year-old symbol of old fashioned American hauntings. With claims of disappeared travelers in the 19th century and ghostly visages, this colonial home adds some flavor to downtown Waterville.
