Boardman is a census-designated place (CDP) in Boardman Township, Mahoning County, Ohio, United States, just south of Youngstown. Boardman is one of two major retail hubs in the Mahoning Valley. The population of the CDP was 35,376 at the 2010 census.
Boardman was founded by Elijah Boardman in the late 1780s. Though the CDP of Boardman consists of suburban spillover from Youngstown, Boardman was traditionally an agricultural community with grain crops and apple orchards. Around the turn of the century, the railroad led to Southern Park, a horse racing facility on Washington Boulevard, making the area an early draw for Youngstown urbanites.
Because of its proximity to Youngstown, Boardman was ripe for strip development starting as early as 1950.
