Charloe, Ohio

Charloe is an unincorporated community in Paulding County, in the U.S. state of Ohio.

History

An Ottawa Indian village stood at the site of Charloe.[1] Charloe was the county seat of Paulding County in the 1840s.[2] The community was named for Charloe Peter, an Indian chief.[2] Charloe lost the county seat to Paulding in 1851, prompting the former community's decline.[3]

A post office was established at Charloe in 1840, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1905.[4]
