Paradise Hill, Ohio facts for kids

Paradise Hill is a very small place in Ohio, USA. It's known as an "unincorporated community." This means it's a group of homes and buildings that doesn't have its own official local government, like a city or a town would. Instead, it's part of a larger area called Milton Township in Ashland County.

What is an Unincorporated Community?

Imagine a neighborhood or a small collection of houses that isn't big enough to be its own town. That's often what an unincorporated community is! It means the people living there get their services, like roads and police, from the county or township government, not from a local town hall. Paradise Hill is one of these quiet, smaller places.
