The History of Mexico, Ohio
Mexico, Ohio, was first planned and settled in the year 1832. The community was given its name to honor the Mexican War of Independence. This was a big event where Mexico fought for its freedom.
When Mexico was first created, it was part of Crawford County, Ohio. However, in 1845, the land where Mexico is located became part of the new Wyandot County, Ohio. A post office was opened in Mexico in 1837. This office helped people send and receive mail for many years. It stayed open until 1902.
