Kids Encyclopedia Facts

New Antioch is a small place in the United States. It's not a city or a town with its own government. Instead, it's called an "unincorporated community." This means it's a group of homes and businesses that are part of a larger area, like a township, rather than having its own mayor or city council. New Antioch is located in Green Township, Clinton County, Ohio.

The Story of New Antioch

New Antioch officially started in 1851. When a place is "platted," it means someone drew up a map showing where streets, lots, and public areas would be. It's like planning out a new neighborhood on paper before building anything.

The people who founded this community chose to name it after a very old and famous city. That city was Antioch, which was an important place in ancient times.

A post office opened in New Antioch in 1847. This was a busy place where people could send and receive letters and packages. The post office served the community for many years, finally closing its doors in 1907.
