Jeromesville is a village in Ashland County, Ohio, United States. The population was 531 at the 2020 census.
History
Jeromesville was platted in 1815 ( near the site of a former and abandoned Native-American village named "Jerometown"). It is named for Jean/John Baptiste Jerome, (a French-Canadian fur trader and pioneer settler), from whom, Christian Deardorf and William Vaughn purchased land and 'founded' a new pioneer village, (which was originally spelled "Jeromeville"). A post office has been in operation at Jeromesville since 1816. [Note: the Native-American village of Jerometown is often attributed to be the same as "Mohican Johnstown"; however, the mid-1700s village named "Mohican Johnstown" was not at this same location.(see Lenape settlements)]
In 2018, Mayor Randy Spade founded the Jeromesville Junior Council, an advisory group consisting of 5th through 8th graders attending Hillsdale Local School District.
This is the first Junior Village Council codified into law in the State of Ohio.
