Kennard, Ohio
Kennard is an unincorporated community in eastern Salem Township, Champaign County, Ohio, United States.[1] It lies at the intersection of Gray and Kennard Roads, less than 2 miles (about 3 km) southwest of State Route 245. The headwaters of Kings Creek, a tributary of the Mad River, flow past Kennard. It is located approximately 10 miles (16 km) northwest of the city of Urbana, the county seat of Champaign County.[2]
Kennard was laid out and platted in 1863 when the railroad was extended to that point.[3] A post office was established at Kennard in 1865, and remained in operation until 1905.[4]
