Antioch’s history is

The story so far

from Wikipedia & the U.S. Census

Antioch is a village in Monroe County, Ohio, United States. The population was 71 at the 2020 census.

Between the 2010 and 2020 censuses its population fell from 86 to 71 (-17%). Half of its homes were built before 1938.

Wikipedia doesn’t have a history of Antioch yet — the old photos, dates and memories neighbors add here are how it gets written.

Nothing in Antioch is on the National Register yet

That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Antioch has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Foreaker Bridge in Perry, 2.9 miles away.
