Hayesville is best known within Ohio for its setting beside the Black Fork, a headwater stream of the Mohican River. This small village in Ashland County developed during the 19th century along a watercourse that meets the Clear Fork near Loudonville to form the Mohican. Hayesville takes its name from John Hayes, who laid out the community in 1839. Farmland, woodland and the river valley define the surrounding north-central Ohio countryside, while the Mohican’s waters continue through the Muskingum River system toward the Ohio River.
