Cities, towns and communities of Ohio County

 Cities, towns and communities of Ohio County

A few books have been written about some of these smaller communities in Ohio County, such as “The History of No Creek,” by Harry D. Tinsley. 

FamilySearch.org has a list of all of the cities and communities in Ohio County, as shown below.  From time-to-time we come across a community name in an old obituary or news article.  Some of those are not on the following list – such as Brownsgrove and Buckhorn (both mentioned in a Gazetteer published in 1856) and Graves Ferry (mentioned in a Gazetteer published in 1874).  Also, Taylor Mine community isn't listed. Wouldn’t it be fun to know the history of all of these places?

Here is the list from Familysearch.org (which I assume are current places):
