Village of Rio Grande

Established July 6, 1874

Welcome to the Village of Rio Grande!

 

Welcome to the online home of the Village of Rio Grande. 

 

The Village of Rio Grande was established on July 6, 1874.  We are just off of US Route 35 in Gallia County.  Our town has a population of approximately 915 people as of the last census taken in 2000.  Upon entering Rio Grande, you will see the Welsh pride displayed by the Welsh flags that adorn the streets. 

 

Rio Grande is home to many residents, businesses, and churches, as well as the University of Rio Grande/Rio Grande Community College and the Rio Grande Elementary School. 

 

We are pleased to say that the Gallipolis City School District will be constructing a new Rio Grande Elementary School inside the Village limits and that it is set to open in the fall of 2010!
