State Route 103, following the township border, is the main road through the community, leading north 2 miles (3 km) to the center of Willard and southwest 11 miles (18 km) to New Washington. Bullhead Road forms the northern edge of Celeryville, leading east 2.5 miles (4.0 km) to New Haven.

Celeryville is a unique agricultural community. The soil of farmlands is muck. It is so rich that several years ago it caught fire. Farmers are able to grow vegetables much faster than other areas and can get one or two extra crops in a growing season. Ohio State University maintains an agricultural extension there. Migrant workers come yearly to tend and harvest the crops.[citation needed]

Education[]

The Willard Area School District serves residents of Celeryville. The community is also the home of Celeryville Christian School, a pre-K-8 school.
