Manara is a small, quiet place in Ohio, United States. It's called an unincorporated community, which means it's a group of homes and buildings that isn't officially a city or town. It doesn't have its own local government. Manara is found in Marion Township, within Fayette County. You can find it where two roads meet: Washington-Waterloo Road (also known as Fayette County Highway 35) and Bloomingburg-New Holland Road (Fayette County Highway 27).
Manara's Past
Manara was first set up where two important roads crossed. These roads were likely "turnpikes," which were main roads where people sometimes paid a small fee to use them.
Early Community Life
A post office was opened in Manara in 1889. This was a big deal for the community. It meant people could send and receive letters and packages right there. The post office stayed open for many years, until 1902.
