Sandyville is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in northern Sandy Township, Tuscarawas County, Ohio, United States.
[3] It lies along State Route 800 between Canton and New Philadelphia.
[6] The village was originally located a half-mile south next to Sandy Creek, but decided to move to its present site in the 1930s after the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District announced plans to build a series of dams in the region that would have put the town inside a flood plain.
About 30 homes, the town hall, post office and several businesses were physically moved uphill to the new site between 1937 and 1938.
