Chuckery, Ohio
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The town of Chuckery sits at the southernmost edge of Union County, Ohio. With a history beginning in the early 1800s, it has risen and fallen in population, infrastructure, and presence.
The Little Darby Creek runs directly through the town, and it should be noted that the original stream was dredged around 1921. Approximately a six mile (10 km) segment of the Little Darby was rerouted in order to reduce the meanderings of the stream, and especially was helpful as a flood control measure. The dredge route took place from Route 4 (Irwin, OH) heading east, then turned south and continued into Madison County until stopping at the intersection of Rosedale Plain City Road.
