Versailles (/vərˈseɪlz/ vər-SAYLZ[3]) is a village in Darke County, Ohio, United States.

Versailles was originally named Jacksonville, in honor of Andrew Jackson and his victory at the Battle of New Orleans.

[5] Later on, as a large number of early residents were of French descent, it was suggested that the village's name be changed to "Versailles" in memory of their homeland.

[citation needed] The proper local pronunciation of the name is ver-sales, with the accent on the second syllable, unlike the French city of the same name (French pronunciation: [vɛʁsɑj]).

33.4% of all households were made up of individuals, and 14.6% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.
