Mexico is an unincorporated community in northeastern Tymochtee Township, Wyandot County, Ohio, United States. [2]

History

Mexico was laid out and platted in 1832. [3] The community was named in commemoration of the Mexican War of Independence. [4] The community was located in Crawford County until land the town site occupies was given to form Wyandot County in 1845. [5] A post office was established at Mexico in 1837, and remained in operation until 1902. [6]
