Take Route 121 northeast from Greenville and you come to Versailles, Ohio; a beautiful community first platted in 1819. Versailles has a population of 2,589, with a council-administrator form of government, a full-time police department, and a volunteer fire department and rescue squad. Power is supplied by the Versailles Municipal Electric System. Versailles is the home of many of Darke County’s most successful and profitable business enterprises. The Versailles Policy, established in 1873, is Darke County’s oldest newspaper. The diverse local economy is comprised of firms working in manufacturing, meat and poultry processing, publishing, automobile service, trucking, professional services, and retail sales. The poultry industry in Versailles began in 1881, and since that time, Versailles has earned the title of “Poultry Capital of the World.” We celebrate our poultry industry every June during our annual Poultry Days Festival. The first festival was held in 1951, and it continues to grow bigger and better each year. The proceeds from this event have provided our community with many needed services and established Heritage Park for everyone’s enjoyment. With ties to the past and eyes on the future, Versailles continues to grow and prosper. The friendly PEOPLE of our community, the PRIDE we exhibit, and the PROGRESS we continue to experience, mirror our community motto. . . PEOPLE-PRIDE-PROGRESS |
