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 and everyone rebuilt. It burnt to the ground a second time then they moved the town location it currently sits and was renamed Princeton. The last item left from Ohio City was removed 1999. Now, there are no signs left that there was a town.[citation needed]
