History

the text in this section is copied from an article in Wikipedia

The town of Ohio was established as the town of West Brunswick in 1823 from part of the town of Norway. The name was changed to Ohio in 1836. Ohio was increased by some of the now-defunct town of Wilmurt, which itself had been partly formed with territory from Ohio and the town of Russia in 1836. Wilmurt was once the largest town in New York.
