Welcome to The Village of Metamora
The first settlement in Metamora was made in the 1830s.
The Post Office has been in operation since 1841.
The name “Metamora” is from a play titled Metamora, Last of the Wampanoags (1829) written by John Augustus Stone. The play follows the title character Metamora, a heroic and noble American Indian chief, and his tragic fall at the hand of English settlers in the seventeenth century New England. This Play led four new Midwestern towns in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Michigan to adopt the name “Metamora”
Update from ODOT re: SR 120 Bridge over Ten-Mile Creek
Nagel Construction and ODOT are in the heart of tearing out the bridge/road on West Main Street (SR 120). They want to emphasize to the public how the construction area is OFF limits to pedestrians. With the road being torn up, there is rebar, sharp objects, trip hazards, etc. and it is NOT safe for anyone to walk near or around the barricades. PLEASE pay attention to the pedestrian detours. Using the sidewalk from downtown, headed west to the post office IS still allowed, but no further than that area please. ODOT and Nagel Construction do not want to see anyone getting hurt by disobeying their barricades and signs. Thank you for your patience and we apologize for the inconvenience.
