Hopetown is an unincorporated community in Ross County, in the U.S. state of Ohio.[1]
History
Hopetown was originally called Hope, and under the latter name was laid out in 1819.[2] The community took its name from the Hope Mill, a gristmill near the original town site.[3] A post office called Hopetown was established in 1900 and was discontinued that same year.[4]
Wesley Chapel in Hopetown is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[5]
