Windham is a village in eastern Portage County, Ohio, United States. The population was 1,666 at the 2020 census.[3] In 1942, the U.S. government chose Windham as the site of an army camp for workers at the newly built Ravenna Arsenal. As a result, Windham experienced the largest increase in population of any municipality in the nation over the 1940s, at 1,148.7%.[4]

Windham is officially considered part of Akron metropolitan area; however, it is slightly closer to Youngstown than Akron and significantly closer to Warren at 12.8 miles (20.6 km) away, even closer than the county seat of Ravenna.[5] Due to this, the village also positions itself in relation to cities in the Mahoning Valley.[5][6] Accordingly, the sole bank in Windham holds membership in the Youngstown-Warren Regional Chamber of Commerce.[7]
