Williams Center, Ohio

[2] Williams Center was originally called Centre, and under the latter name was platted in 1836, and so named on account of its location being near the geographical center of (what was then a larger) Williams County.

[3] A post office was established at Williams Center in 1839, and remained in operation until 1903.

[4] Despite its small size, the community has two separate Methodist churches.

The latter congregation, founded in 1842, now worships in a former Lutheran church building; the previous Calvary structure burned in 1947, and the members obtained the abandoned Emmanuel Lutheran Church and relocated it in order to use it in Williams Center.
