More About Shiloh

Shiloh was platted in September 1852 where the Sandusky and Mansfield Railroad met the Cleveland and Columbus Railroad and the road between Tiffin and Wooster.

It was first called Salem Station, after the nearby village of Salem, and took the name Shiloh in 1862.

Some residents later said the name honored the Civil War Battle of Shiloh, while others said it came from the biblical Shiloh.

The village was incorporated in 1874 and is part of the Mansfield metropolitan area.
