Bloomingville, Ohio

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bloomingville is an unincorporated community in northern Oxford Township, Erie County, Ohio, United States. It is located at the intersection of Mason Road and Patten Tract Road. The Oxford Grange Hall located where Taylor Road forks off from Mason was the center of community life for many years. The compact community consisted primarily of farmhouses clustered near the main intersection. Many of the farmhouses had working farms adjoinng them or nearby. Not too far to the northeast, though, lay an unused tract of 9,000 acres (36 km²) that had been the site of a World War II munitions factory. In 1957 NASA acquired part of this tract for its Plum Brook Station and by 1963 had acquired the rest of the tract to build additional facilities there.^[1]

In 1984 a large golf couse called Woussickett opened on Mason Road not too far west of Patten Tract Road.
