Brinley, Ohio

Brinley is an unincorporated community in Preble County, in the U.S. state of Ohio.

History

A former variant name was Brinleys Station.[1] Brinleys Station had its start in 1855 when Sylvester Brinley gave a portion of his land for a railroad station, in exchange for naming rights.[2] A post office was established under the name Brinleys Station in 1860, the name was changed to Brinley in 1882, and the post office closed in 1902.[3]

gollark: Scuba diving seems neat. I'm doing a "discover scuba diving" thing next month (not sure exactly when, since I had my parents book it and forgot to ask...).
gollark: It looks low enough that mobile networks should still work, although in my experience you're meant to turn off phones for whatever reason.
