Ovid is located on the northeast border of Clinton County along M-21. It functions mainly as a commuter town to several larger metro areas, including Lansing, Saginaw and Owosso, strategically located in the middle of them all.

Like many towns in the area, Ovid began when the Detroit & Milwaukee Railroad built a line and set up a station here in 1858. It was incorporated as a village a year later. Ovid was named after the township, which in turn was named after Ovid, New York, where many of its original settlers came from. Many original buildings still exist today, and the town has done a good job preserving much if its turn-of-the-century architecture.
