About Coshocton

Welcome to the City of Coshocton, The Made in the USA City!

Why “The Made in The USA City”? We’re a 200 year old community with a rich history of manufacturing innovations and our local retailers are focused on showcasing made in the USA products. Besides being the home of the largest American Flag manufacturer, we have many diverse companies making ductile pipe, cardboard, castings, bacon and more.

Coshocton was the birth place for the Specialty Advertising Industry, latex coated gloves, March of Dimes, Pope Gosser China and others.

We are a small city nestled in the rolling hills of East Central Ohio where the Tuscarawas and Walhonding Rivers meet to form the Muskingum River. Home of the historic canal era town of Roscoe Village, Coshocton boasts a solid industrial base, unique retail shops, outstanding recreational opportunities and an abundant artistic environment. We enjoy the safety and friendliness of a “small town” atmosphere, with big city amenities just a short drive away.

Check our links to city services, economic development opportunities, and our tourism and recreational venues. Coshocton offers a rich tradition of history and culture, fine schools and a comfortable quality of life. Our community is a wonderful place to visit, live and raise a family.

We invite you to visit our community or perhaps consider choosing Coshocton for your home or business. When you explore what we have to offer, we know you’ll return over and over again.
