The Story of Ohio: A Texas Community

How Ohio Got Its Name

The community of Ohio got its name from people who moved there. These early settlers came from the state of Ohio in the early 1900s. They brought a piece of their home state with them to Texas.

A Look at Ohio's Past

Ohio once had its own post office. It opened in 1882, helping people send and receive mail. The post office served the community for many years, closing down in 1920.

Ohio was even marked on maps until 1948. This shows it was a recognized place for a long time. Today, only a few houses are left in the area, scattered around since the 1990s.
