Twinsburg, Ohio, is best known for being the home of the international celebration of divided fertilized eggs, the Twins Day Festival. The products of split zygotes from around the world gather in Twinsburg every summer to celebrate their uniqueness. And it's not just for twins; triplets, quadruplets, septuplets, any combination of multiples attend in droves.
The town was named Twinsburg on the request of a set of twin brothers who lived there when it was first founded. They gave up some of their land in exchange for the town's name. Twinsburg is proud of its rich history, and several historical homes and buildings in the town hark back its 1817 founding. As a matter of fact, the home of the city's founder still stands. The heart of the city is its historic town square, featuring a memorial structure dedicated to residents who lost their lives in the Civil War. Across the street from the memorial is the First Congregational Church, which was built in 1847, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Buildings. Outside the town's center are more populated areas that feature shopping, restaurants and plenty of recreational activities for the 18,795 people who live here.
Moving to Twinsburg

Pets will add to the cost of monthly rent, so keep that in mind as you look for pet-friendly apartments.
