I would love to hear more about Coonville. I just bought property there and want to learn more about Coonville history.

Everybody here at the Little Cities office are a bit stumped as to the location of this community. Can you tell us which county and township it is located in

it’s in Starr twp. On Hwy 56 in Hocking County. It’s between the village of Starr and laurel run rd. on 56. I have heard some stories from some neighbors about the mine and a building that is now a home in Coonville, it used to be the store where the miners bought nitro, explosives, etc. The property I got had two miners shacks on it, previous owner buried them. Can I submit Coonville info as I find it? Is this the correct way to submit it?
