La Croft, Ohio

La Croft fell from 1,144 to 1,078 between 2010 and 2020. These are the recorded population figures Wikidata holds for this place, reached through the Geographic Names Information System number this page is keyed on rather than by name, so they belong to this place and not to another of the same name. Most are census counts, but not all are: an early figure may be a founding or settlement estimate. The change column is computed, and is left blank where more than 20 years separate a figure from the one before it, because a gap that long is not a change between two counts.

An account from the chapter on Liverpool township, in the words of 1879.

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 42 fires within 5 miles of La Croft between 1993 and 2020, burning about 52 acres in total. None started naturally. 6 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:

• East Liverpool
• Jethro
• Pleasant Heights
• Spring Grove
• Walkers
• Wellsville

Every fire recorded in Columbiana County

Museums hold 468 specimens collected within 10 miles of La Croft between 1895 and 1975: 275 Animalia, 171 Plantae, 22 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Albert Peyron, Armbruster, D. C. (Daniel C.), Athearn, Herbert D. 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 federal mineral resources record lists 4 workings within 5 miles of La Croft: 2 past producers, 1 producer, 1 unknown. 1 still produces. What was taken out: Clay, Fire Clay (Refractory), Sand and Gravel, Construction. Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a quarry counted here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.

Every working recorded in Columbiana County

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 1048892.
