The History of Tuscarawas County, Ohio, published 1884 names this settlement in its chapter on Fairfield 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 16 fires within 5 miles of Mount Tabor between 2003 and 2020, burning about 57 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:

• Egypt (historical)
• New England (historical)
• Roswell
• Johnston
• Rockford
• Somerdale

Every fire recorded in Tuscarawas County

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 573 specimens collected within 10 miles of Mount Tabor between 1851 and 1973: 467 Animalia, 90 Plantae, 14 Fungi, 2 Unrecorded. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A W Cusick, A. Cibula, A. Cobula 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.

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal mineral resources record lists 3 workings within 5 miles of Mount Tabor: 2 producers, 1 plant. All of them still produce. What was taken out: Clay, Stone, Crushed/Broken, Fire Clay (Refractory). Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a quarry counted here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.
