Where can I find information about American Indian place names in Ohio?
Answer
We recommend the following reference works:
Bright, William. 2004. Native American placenames of the United States. Norman: University of Oklahoma Press.
Davis, Harold Eugene. Notes for a dictionary of Ohio Indian place names, VOL 1023. Ohio History Connection.
Mahr, August C. “Indian River and Place Names in Ohio.” Ohio History (1957) 66: 137-58.
Wikipedia. 2021. “List of place names of Native American origin in Ohio.” Last modified 4 January 2021.
Published county histories are also a good source for the history of cities and towns in Ohio.
