The Plains

The Plains has served as a settlement in Ohio’s Hocking River valley since the 19th century. This community lies just north of Athens, amid the rolling, wooded terrain of Appalachian Ohio, where the Hocking River has long shaped local travel and settlement. The broader area was part of southeastern Ohio’s coalfield country, a legacy that remains central to the region’s identity. Nearby Athens is home to Ohio University, founded in 1804, bringing a major academic and cultural presence to the valley.
