New California, Ohio

New California grew from 1,411 to 2,225 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 Jerome township, in the words of 1915.

Museums hold 287 specimens collected within 10 miles of New California between 1918 and 1975: 284 Animalia, 3 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. Spreitzer, A. Spreitzer & K. Borror, A. Spreitzer & W. LeGrande 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 1 working within 5 miles of New California: 1 producer. All of them still produce. What was taken out: Stone, Crushed/Broken. 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 Union County

The National Weather Service names New California in 5 storm reports between 2008 and 2026: 4 hail, 1 flood. No death or injury is recorded in these reports. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date opens the federal record of that event.
