Highlandtown is an unincorporated community in eastern Washington Township, Columbiana County, Ohio, United States. It is immediately south of Highlandtown Lake, a reservoir which takes its name.
Highlandtown was originally built up chiefly by settlers of Scottish ancestry.[1] [2] The name Highlandtown is derived from the Scottish Highlands. The post office at Highlandtown was called Inverness, as there was already a Highlandtown post office at the time.[3] The Inverness post office was established in 1838, and remained in operation until 1902, and the community reverted to Highlandtown.[4]
