Winchester, Richland County, Ohio

Winchester, Richland County, Ohio

Winchester was an attempt to start a town on the Clear Fork River in Worthington Township, Richland County, Ohio, United States.

History

In March 1845, the town of Winchester was laid out in Section 9, on the Clear Fork River by Noble Calhoun. A few houses were erected, but the land upon which it was platted was heavily mortgaged and was later sold at a Sheriff's sale. The town never amounted to more than a few homes. [A. A. Graham. "A History of Richland County, Ohio." 1888.]
