Good Hope, Ohio
Good Hope is a census-designated place in central Wayne Township, Fayette County, Ohio, United States.[1] It lies at the intersection of State Route 753 with Washington-Good Hope and Camp Grove Roads. Indian Creek, which meets Paint Creek slightly more than two miles (3½ kilometers) to the south, runs on the western edge of Good Hope. It is located midway between Greenfield and Washington Court House, the county seat of Fayette County.
Good Hope was platted in 1849, although a small village had already existed there for some time.[2] A post office was established at Good Hope in 1851, and remained in operation until 1965.[3]
It was only in 2012 that Good Hope had a waste treatment plant.[4]
