Somersville (sometimes spelled Summersville) is an unincorporated community in York Township, Union County, Ohio, United States. It is located at the intersection of Ohio State Routes 31 and 47.[1]
The community of Somersville was laid in 1834 by Thomas Price and William Somers.[2] The Bokes Creek Post Office was established April 26, 1850, with Amon S. Davis as postmaster,[2] and was discontinued on June 30, 1904. As of 1877, the town contained two grocery stores, a blacksmith shop, a shoe shop, and one physician.[2] The mail service is now sent through the Peoria Post Office.
