Elkton is an unincorporated community located in central Elkrun Township, Columbiana County, Ohio, United States.[1] Although it is unincorporated, Elkton has the ZIP code of 44415. It lies along State Route 154.

History

Elkton was platted in 1835.[2] The community derives its name from nearby Elk Run creek.[3] A post office called Elkton has been in operation since 1838.[4] The community thrived due to its location on the Sandy and Beaver Canal, but was in decline by the late 1840s when the canal became unprofitable and was suspended.[5]

Notable landmarks

Elkton is the location of a federal prison, the Federal Correctional Institution, Elkton. Additionally, Elkton claims to have the shortest covered bridge in the United States, crossing Little Beaver Creek.
