Westminster, Ohio

Westminster is an unincorporated community in western Auglaize Township, Allen County, Ohio, United States. It lies along State Route 117 just north of its intersection with State Route 196, 6½ miles (10½ km) north of Waynesfield and 7½ miles (12 km) southeast of the downtown part of the city of Lima, the county seat of Allen County. The upper reaches of the Auglaize River flow past the community. [DeLorme. "Ohio Atlas & Gazetteer". 7th ed. Yarmouth: DeLorme, 2004, pp. 45, 46. ISBN 0-89933-281-1.]

Rudolph Foods is located in the village. The facility processes pork rinds, and as a result, Westminster is known as "The Pork Rind Capital of the World," as is evidenced by the smell of bacon that frequently envelops the community.fact|date=November 2007
