Ohio City is a ghost town in Franklin County, Kansas, United States.[citation needed]

Ohio City was issued a post office in 1857 but was discontinued and moved to Princeton in 1870.[1] The town was 1 mile north and 1 mile east of where Princeton is currently located. In 1866, the town burnt to the ground, but everyone rebuilt it. It burnt to the ground a second time then they moved the town to its current location to and renamed it Princeton. The last Ohio City remnants were removed 1999. Now, there are no signs left that there was a town.[citation needed]
