Yellowbud, Ohio
Yellowbud (sometimes called Yellow Bud) is an unincorporated community in Ross County, in the U.S. state of Ohio.[1]
History
[edit]Yellowbud had its start as a shipping point on the Ohio and Erie Canal.[2] The town site was platted in 1845.[3] With the construction of the railroad, business activity shifted away from inland Yellowbud, and the town's population dwindled.[2] A post office called Yellow Bud was established in 1846, the name was changed to Yellowbud in 1895, and the post office closed in 1903.[4] The community takes its name from Yellowbud Creek.[5]
Notable person
[edit]Job E. Stevenson, a U.S. Representative from Ohio, was born at Yellowbud in 1832.[6]
Solar farm
[edit]In 2023, a 274 MW solar farm began operating in Yellowbud.[7][8][9]
