Mexico is an unincorporated community in northeastern Tymochtee Township, Wyandot County, Ohio, United States.[1]

History

Mexico was laid out and platted in 1832.[2] The community was named in commemoration of the Mexican War of Independence.[3] The community was located in Crawford County until land the town site occupies was given to form Wyandot County in 1845.[4] A post office was established at Mexico in 1837, and remained in operation until 1902.[5]
