The Story of Tymochtee

This community has an interesting history, especially with its name! Tymochtee once had its own post office, which is where people would send and receive letters and packages. This post office was open for many years, from 1823 until 1894.

The name "Tymochtee" comes from a nearby stream called Tymochtee Creek. This name itself has a special meaning! It comes from the Wyandot language, which was spoken by the Wyandot people, a Native American tribe. In their language, "Tymochtee" means "stream around the plains." This tells us a little about what the area might have looked like long ago, with a stream flowing through flat lands.
