History of Ashtabula County, Ohio, 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 2 fires within 5 miles of Simons between 2018 and 2020, burning about 9 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.

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 85 specimens collected within 10 miles of Simons between 1895 and 1974: 69 Animalia, 9 Fungi, 7 Plantae. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Bogue, E.E., C. B. Hellquist, Davis, H.A.; Davis, T. 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.
