History of Huron County Ohio Its Progress and Development, published 1909 names this settlement in its chapter on Norwich Township. These are the passages that mention it, exactly as the scans read.

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 2 fires within 5 miles of Centerton between 2002 and 2002, burning about 6 acres in total. None started naturally. None was recorded as arson. Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a fire counted here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.

The most recent of them, most recent first, with the day each was reported and the service that recorded it.

Settlements close enough to share some of these fires:

• Celeryville
• Coble Village
• New Haven
• New Pittsburgh
• Relief (historical)
• Willard

Every fire recorded in Huron County

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 265 specimens collected within 10 miles of Centerton between 1885 and 1974: 160 Plantae, 75 Animalia, 16 Fungi, 14 Protozoa. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. P. Morgan, Baumgartner, L., C. E. Jennings and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.
