Summithill is an unincorporated community in Ross County, in the U.S. state of Ohio.[1]
History
Summithill had its start in the 1870s when the railroad was extended to that point, and so named on account of its lofty elevation.[2] Variant names were "Summit" and "Summit Hill".[1] A post office called Summit Hill was established in 1878, the name was changed to Summithill in 1895, and the post office closed in 1946.[3]
