Welcome to Egypt ...

So far, we found very little information about Egypt. The little that we've found leads us believe that the community is historic.<1>

We've added Egypt to our Gazetteer with the hope that we can develop more information. If you can help us with Egypt, please Contact Us.

Egypt would have been located within present day Tuscarawas County<2>.

While the community is gone, the present day location for Egypt is 1,000 feet [305 m] above sea level.<3>.

Footnotes ...

<1>We use the term 'Historic' broadly and it generally means that the community no longer exists. However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was significantly larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now. Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable. If you can provide us with more specific information about Egypt, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy.
<2>If you're interested in how the shape of Ohio's counties, including Tuscarawas, have changed over time, we recommend the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries.
<3>The elevation is an estimate for the area around Egypt - it will be higher in some places and lower in others.
