Pitchin is an unincorporated community in Clark County, in the U.S. state of Ohio. [1]

History

The first permanent settlement at Pitchin was made in the 1840s when several houses and shops were built there. [2] A sawmill was built at the site in 1854. [2] According to tradition, the town's name is derived from an idiom, specifically "pitch in". Some say the proprietor of a mill told all job seekers to "pitch in" and help him build the mill, while others believe a merchant invited townspeople to "pitch in" and help him drink a keg of beer at his new store. [3] A post office called Pitchin was established in 1884, and remained in operation until 1903. [4]
