Carbondale, Ohio

Carbondale is an unincorporated community in northwestern Waterloo Township, Athens County, Ohio, United States. Although it is unincorporated, it has a post office, with the ZIP code of 45717. [ [http://www.zipinfo.com/cgi-local/zipsrch.exe?cnty=cnty&zip=45717 Zip Code Lookup] ] It is located a short distance north of State Route 56.

The town is located on Hewett Fork, a tributary of Raccoon Creek, which is a tributary of the Ohio River.

The name refers to the once-abundant coal resources in the hills and valleys surrounding the community. The area was extensively mined, with all mines closing years ago. The community is closely hemmed in by the Zaleski State Forest, including the Enderlin Forest just west of town, which includes one of the earliest large-scale white pine plantations in the state, and features the state's champion white pine tree.
