History

A post office in Chautauqua County called Ozro operated from 1888 to 1892. [2]

Osro’s location is within a mile of Osro Falls, also known as Ozro Falls, an old covered wagon crossing point on the Caney River. [3] [4] The waterfall only measures about 3 feet in height, but extends nearly 200 feet across the river. [4]
