Millwood, Ohio

Millwood is an unincorporated community in Knox County, in the U.S. state of Ohio.[1]

History

Millwood was laid out around 1825.[2] A post office called Millwood was established in 1833, and remained in operation until 1907.[3] Some say the community was named for the mill and woods near the original town site, while others believe the name honors one Mr. Millwood, a personal friend of the proprietor.[2]
