Ryan is located on highway 13 in the southwestern part of Delaware County and has a strong Irish tie dating back to the late 1800’s. Since it became incorporated on February 5, 1901, the City of Ryan has seen good and bad times and has grown and become stronger through it all.
We are famous for showing our Irish heritage by way of the shamrocks located on our water tower. Watching over the ball field, you’ll find the World’s Largest Umpire statue, which is a symbol of the pride our citizens take in our City Park and ball diamond and to the many youth and adult teams who take to the field. That pride continues with the new Pavilion, which is available for rent and pickleball courts to enjoy.
The City of Ryan is also home to a variety of businesses, some of which are a local grain cooperative, 24- hour fuel station, Citizens State Bank, insurance agency, veterinary service, storage rental units and a number of automotive repair shops. Two churches serve the Ryan community as well as an active Legion group.
All of this is what makes Ryan “A community of Unity.”
