Carrollton is a village in Carroll County, eastern Ohio, and serves as the county seat. The village had a population of 3,087 in the 2020 Census, giving it a small-town scale while still functioning as an administrative and service center for the surrounding county.

The community was founded in the 19th century and became the seat of Carroll County. Its development was shaped by local government, agriculture, trade, and the needs of nearby rural communities. The historic downtown area reflects the role of county-seat villages in Ohio, where courthouses, local businesses, churches, and civic institutions formed the center of public life.
