Welcome to Lucerne ...

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

We've added Lucerne to our Gazetteer with the hope that we can develop more information. We would especially like to find the location of Lucerne - knowing its coordinates, we can explore things like its relationship to neighboring communities, nearby cemeteries, etc. If you can help us with Lucerne, please Contact Us.

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 Lucerne, 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 Columbiana, have changed over time, we recommend the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries.
<3>	When there's a risk of an area code running out of phone numbers, an 'Overlay Area Code' is created that has the same geographic boundaries as the existing area code. In this case, the 330 code has been Overlayed with the 234 area code. New phone numbers in the Lucerne area will be assigned with one of these codes: 330 or 234. As a result, placing a call in the Lucerne area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number).
