Brandon, Ohio

Brandon is an unincorporated community in Knox County, in the U.S. state of Ohio.^[1]

History

Brandon was originally called Four Corners, then Hildreth, but the site was never legally platted on account of a land dispute in the 1840s.^[2] A post office was first established there under the name Hildreths in 1839. The post office's name was changed to Brandon in 1848, and remained in operation until 1902.^[3]
