Education plays a significant role in the city’s dynamic character, as Ayrton boasts two universities that are in constant competition, University of Aryton and Pennbrook University. These institutions draw students from across the globe, fostering a spirit of innovation and creativity that permeates the urban landscape.

Despite its rapid development, Ayrton retains some of its agricultural roots. The surrounding mountains are home to some of the oldest vineyards in the region, a reminder of the city’s heritage that beautifully contrasts with its modern skyline.
