Last updated

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

History

A post office called Polo was established in 1882, and remained in operation until 1901. [2] Besides the post office, Polo had a schoolhouse. [3] Polo is located about five miles north of Covington on the St. Marys Pike (Ohio State Route 48) at the place where it crossed the Piqua-Versailles Pike. At one time there was a saw mill, a wood and iron working shop, a grocery exchange, a school and a church located on the County Line northwest of the settlement. About 1915, the Tidewater Station (Tidewater Oil) was built just east of here for the purpose of pumping crude oil in the underground line which ran in a southwest-northeast direction. This station was abandoned during the second World War and is currently being used to house a machine shop. History of Miami County Ohio, Published by The Miami County Historical Society, 1982

<span class="mw-page-title-main">West Middletown, Ohio</span> Unincorporated community in Ohio, U.S.

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.
