Brandon, Ohio
Methodist church
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.[3] The post office's name was changed to Brandon in 1848, and remained in operation until 1902.[4]
