An excellent history of Orrville can be found here. I have lived in Orrville since August of 2003. I lived in Orrville previously in 1993. I attended Wooster High School, so for the last Friday of October every year, I hate Orrville. I grew up in Wooster, and both cities are located in Wayne County, and the high school's have a long and storied rivalry.
