New Way, Ohio facts for kids

A Glimpse into New Way's Past

New Way got its start a long time ago, back in 1851. That year, a post office was opened there. A post office was a very important place in those days because it was how people sent and received letters, news, and even packages. It helped connect the community to the rest of the world. The post office in New Way served the community for many years, finally closing its doors in 1902.

The community itself was named after a local church called the New Way Universalist church. This shows how churches often played a big role in the early days of many towns and communities, sometimes even giving them their names!
