History of Wayne County, Ohio, from the Days of the Pioneers and the First Settlers to the Present Time, published 1878 has no passage naming this settlement, which was common for smaller places. Its township is covered in full.

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 7 fires within 5 miles of Custaloga (historical) between 2004 and 2017, burning about 11 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:

• Centerville
• Craigton
• Kauke
• Millbrook
• Shreve
• Springville

Every fire recorded in Wayne County

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 538 specimens collected within 10 miles of Custaloga (historical) between 1895 and 1974: 493 Animalia, 42 Plantae, 3 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A C ALLEN, A. Weaver, Bruce, W. A. 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.

The eight closest, with where each one stands in the county. Distances are straight-line, computed from the Geographic Names Information System coordinates.

Matched on this settlement's Geographic Names Information System number rather than its name, so it cannot be a different place of the same name in another state.

This settlement is recorded in the Geographic Names Information System as feature 1062452. The sheet list is computed by point-in-boundary test against the United States Geological Survey's historical topographic inventory.
