Kingsbury, Ohio facts for kids

Kids Encyclopedia Facts

Kingsbury is a small, quiet place located in Meigs County, Ohio, in the U.S. state of Ohio. It's known as an unincorporated community. This means it's a group of homes and businesses that isn't officially a town or city with its own local government. Instead, it's part of the larger county.

The History of Kingsbury

Kingsbury has a simple but interesting past. A long time ago, in 1866, a post office was opened there. A post office is where people could send and receive letters and packages. This was very important before phones and the internet! The Kingsbury post office served the community for many years. It finally closed its doors in 1911.

The community itself was named after an early settler. This person was a pioneer, meaning they were among the first people to settle and build a life in that area. Their last name was Kingsbury, and that's how this little spot on the map got its name.
