Washington’s history is
mostly unwritten

The public archives hold just one old photo of Washington. The rest are in attics, shoeboxes and the historical society. Help start the collection.

The story so far

from Wikipedia & the U.S. Census

Washington Township is one of the eleven townships of Warren County, Ohio, United States. Located in the east-central part of the county, it is the only one of the eleven that does not contain a municipality. The population was 2,752 at the 2020 census.

Its population held steady between the last two censuses: 2,717 people in 2010, 2,752 in 2020. Half of its homes were built before 1998.

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