Village in Ohio, United States
Zoar is a village in Tuscarawas County, Ohio, United States. The population was 172 at the 2020 census. The community was founded in 1817 by Radical Pietists as a utopian Christian community, which survived until 1898. Much of the village's early layout survives, as do many buildings from its utopian origins. Most of the community was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1969 as the Zoar Historic District, and it was designated a National Historic Landmark District in 2016. Some of the historic buildings are now owned and operated as museum properties by Ohio History Connection.
