Hector, Ohio
Hector is an unincorporated community in Putnam County, in the U.S. state of Ohio.[1]
History
Hector was platted in 1882, and named for Hector Havemeyer, proprietor.[2] A post office was established in 1883, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1900.[3] Hector contained a stave factory, but the town's prospects ended once the surrounding forests (and wood supply) were depleted.[4]
