Moscow is a fascinating place in Licking County, Ohio, in the United States. It's known as a ghost town. This means it was once a busy community, but over time, most people moved away, and it's no longer an active town.

History of Moscow

Moscow was officially planned and started in the year 1830. When a town is "laid out," it means that someone decided where the streets, homes, and other buildings would go, hoping that people would come and build a new community there. While Moscow was founded with these hopes, it eventually became a quiet ghost town.
