This is a digitally reproduced Second Edition version of Geo. W. Hawes' Ohio State Gazetteer and Business Directory for 1860-61. Historians, genealogists and researchers of mid 19th century Ohio will find the vast amount of related research material in this book on CD invaluable. The extensive 918 pages contain the description of hundreds of places and place names including: cities, towns, villages and post offices of the State of Ohio. The list is simply too large to enumerate here and includes virtually all places both big and small found in 1860 Ohio.
