The Village of Botkins takes its name from Richard Botkins, who is often described as an industrious visionary whose hard work and keen business sense laid the foundation for our community. 

It is with that same vision, industriousness and hard work that Botkins has thrived over the past 140 years to become the vibrant community that it is today.

Visitors will be struck by the beautifully serene country side that surrounds the community, and may be surprised at how close Botkins is to so many major metro areas. This convenient proximity is one of the reasons many businesses choose to locate in this part of the state. 

When you add in the vibrant community life, wonderful school district, safe neighborhoods, and so much more, there is no question why so many families and businesses choose to call the Village of Botkins home.
