Named in the 1903 county history

The history of Hancock County was published 7 years before the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

In 1837. Daniel Opp put up a frame building on the farm now owned by Edward Wiseley, and commenced tavern keeping. A Post Olfice was also established at his place, and called Crow, and Mr. Opp appointed Post Master. After about two years Mr. Opp died, and the Post Office expired with him, since which time there has not been a Post Office in the township.

Provenance

Read by machine from the printed index of the Sanborn fire insurance atlases of Hancock County, Ohio, held by the Library of Congress. Sanborn atlases published before 1930 are in the public domain. Only names that at least three of four independent readings agreed on are published, and no spelling has been corrected: what appears here is what the recogniser returned from the ink.
