The county history of 1879 has no passage naming this settlement, which was common for the smaller places. Its township is covered in full.

The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 17 fires within 5 miles of Five Forks between 2003 and 2020, burning about 78 acres in total. None started naturally. 2 were 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:

• Summitville
• Diamond Valley
• Millport
• Dungannon
• Salineville
• East Rochester

Every fire recorded in Columbiana County

Museums hold 236 specimens collected within 10 miles of Five Forks between 1889 and 1970: 138 Animalia, 93 Plantae, 5 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. D. Mac Gillivroy, Albert Peyron, Armbruster, D. C. (Daniel C.) 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.
