Marlboro is a small community located in Stark County, Ohio, in the United States. It is known as a census-designated place, which means the government counts its population for official records, even though it's not a formally organized city or town.
History of Marlboro
Marlboro was first planned and settled in 1827. It got its name from the larger area around it, called Marlboro Township.
Many of the first people to build homes and live here were Quakers, a religious group known for their peaceful beliefs. By 1833, only a few years after it was founded, about 50 people lived in Marlboro.
A post office opened in Marlboro in 1833, making it easier for people to send and receive mail. The name of the post office changed slightly in 1893, and it eventually closed in 1906.
