- Center of the World, Ohio
Center of the World is an unincorporated community in far eastern Braceville Township, Trumbull County, Ohio, United States. [DeLorme. "Ohio Atlas & Gazetteer". 7th ed. Yarmouth: DeLorme, 2004, p. 43. ISBN 0-89933-281-1.] It consists of several houses and a few retail establishments centered at the crossroads where State Routes 82 and 5 diverge. The community is recognized by the Ohio Department of Transportation and appears on maps. The ODOT sign for the community on the highway has been stolen numerous times.Fact|date=February 2007
The community was originally founded by Randall Wilmot, an eccentric investor who had plans to make his new community a major economic center in northeast Ohio. When the railroads used the nearby city of Warren as the regional hub, Center of the World fell into decline both in terms of population and industry. In his later years, Wilmot moved into a large house which he referred to as "The End of the World."
