Artanna is an unincorporated community in Knox County, in the U.S. state of Ohio.

History

The community's name is an amalgamation of Arthur "Art" (1910-1992) and Anna Wolfe (1921-2015), the proprietors of a local gas station that opened in the early 1930s.[1] For a time the community hosted cabins for travelers, owned by the same couple.[2]
