Crime Scene & Biohazard Cleanup Near West Sebring Sebring, OH

Sebring is a village in southwestern Mahoning County, Ohio, part of the Youngstown-Warren-Boardman metropolitan area.

Sebring was a planned pottery town: it was platted in 1899 by the Sebring brothers of East Liverpool, who built the town from farmland to create their own pottery center, and the village was incorporated in 1899.

The Sebring brothers wrote a prohibition on alcohol sales into the town's deeds, a ban that held until March 1948.

Sebring was once known as the Pottery Capital of the World; at its peak it hosted dozens of pottery companies employing about 3,300 workers, and firms like Royal China produced the widely collected Currier and Ives dinnerware pattern there.

Royal China, Sebring's last major pottery, closed in 1986 as imported dinnerware took over the American market.

Founder Frank Sebring's 1900 mansion on West Ohio Avenue still stands and operates as the Sebring Mansion Inn and Spa.

The 2010 census counted 4,420 people in Sebring living in 1,898 households, and the 2020 census counted about 4,191 residents, reflecting the decline of the pottery industry.

Sebring covers about 2.5 square miles and sits on high ground its school district describes as once promoted as the most elevated and healthful tableland in Ohio.

Local students attend Sebring Local Schools, whose only high school is McKinley High School, home of the Trojans.

Sebring McKinley's boys basketball program is a small-school power, with dozens of league championships and three appearances in the state final four.
