Welcome to Webster ...

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

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


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

Time Zone: The area where Webster was located is in the Eastern Time Zone (EST/EDT) and observes daylight saving time

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