Rome, Morrow County, Ohio
Rome is a ghost town in South Bloomfield Township, Morrow County, in the U.S. state of Ohio.[1]
History
Rome was laid out in 1827 by Lemuel Potter.[2][3] The town failed to meet Potter's expectations, as one 19th-century writer remarks "it did not bear any resemblance to ancient Rome".[4]
