Kidron is a census-designated place in southwestern Sugar Creek Township, Wayne County, Ohio, United States.
Kidron was originally settled in 1819 by a group of Swiss Mennonites wishing to escape religious persecution and poor farming conditions in their homeland in the Sonnenberg area of Switzerland near the Jura Mountains.
In Switzerland, the Swiss Mennonites were referred to as "Die Stillen im Lande" meaning "the quiet people in the country."
On an episode of the Fox TV series 24 that aired on January 26, 2009, a city named "Kidron, Ohio" was the location of a foiled terrorist attack.
The city depicted in the show was many times larger than the actual Kidron; its name was chosen because of its obscurity.
