Arnold is an unincorporated community in Jerome Township, Union County, Ohio, United States. It is located along U.S. Route 42, between New California and Plain City. [2]

History

In 1893, a railroad station was built and a community platted on land owned by Mrs. George Arnold along the Toledo and Ohio Central Railroad. The station was originally called New California, but the name was changed when they applied for a post office. [3] The Arnold Post office was established on June 21, 1894, with James Arnold as the original Postmaster. [4] Arnold closed his grocery store, and the post office was abandoned in 1896. Fred Smith was then commissioned as Postmaster, but closed his business also before he could perform any of the duties of the office. Mrs. Carrie Fleck was the next Postmaster, when she and her husband established a store in the community later in 1896. She continued her duties until the branch was discontinued on February 28, 1910. [3] [4] As of 1913, Mr. & Mrs. Fleck's store had continued to grow, and there was also another grocery store, an axe handle factory, two warehouses, the railroad station, 24 houses, and a population of about 100.

West Middletown is an unincorporated community in eastern Madison Township, Butler County, Ohio, United States. It is located on the west shore of the Great Miami River about one mile from Middletown. It had about 200 people in 1905 and was formerly a station on the Cincinnati, Hamilton, and Dayton Railroad. Founded as Madison City, it received the name Heno when it was awarded a post office in 1882. Since there was already another Madison City in Ohio, the postmaster general demanded a name change. According to legend, as old-timers were discussing the new name around the cracker barrel in the general store, a can of Heno tea caught their attention. So the town was named for the tea. But in 1907, the postmaster general decreed the village was within the shadow of Middletown, and only a few postal workers had ever heard of Heno, making it difficult to sort and forward mail to the place. The government ordered the village to accept the name of West Middletown. In 1963 the postmaster general in another decree closed the West Middletown post office, transferring its business to Middletown.
