The county history of 1901 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 2 fires within 5 miles of Slough between 2012 and 2020, burning about 27 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:

• Carroll
• Greencastle
• Havensport
• Lockville
• Rock Mill
• Wesley Chapel

Every fire recorded in Fairfield County

Museums hold 1,847 specimens collected within 10 miles of Slough between 1843 and 1975: 1,736 Animalia, 68 Fungi, 39 Plantae, 4 Protozoa. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Asa Gray; W. S. Sullivant, Bales, B. R., Birch, W. 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 Slough: 1 producer. All of them still produce. What was taken out: 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 Fairfield 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 1063021. The sheet list is computed by point-in-boundary test against the United States Geological Survey's historical topographic inventory.
