Welcome to Waldeck ...

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

We would especially like to find the location of Waldeck - knowing its coordinates, we can explore things like its relationship to neighboring communities, nearby cemeteries, etc. If you can help us with Waldeck, please Contact Us.

While we don't have the exact location of Waldeck , we believe that it would have been located within present day Fulton County<2>.

Adding Waldeck to Our Gazetteer ...

As we work on our Gazetteer, we occasionally find mention of a community that is new to us. When we find such a community, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope of adding more information in the future.

The earliest source we've referenced which mentioned Waldeck was in the document titled List of Post Offices from Cameron Blevins and Richard Helbock.<4>

From that list, the Waldeck post office opened in 1897.

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 Waldeck, 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 Fulton, 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 419 code has been Overlayed with the 567 area code. New phone numbers in the Waldeck area will be assigned with one of these codes: 419 or 567. As a result, placing a call in the Waldeck area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number).
