Triadelphia is an unincorporated community in Morgan County, in the U.S. state of Ohio. [1]
Triadelphia was laid out and platted in 1838 with 26 lots; at the town center, Juniper and High Streets crossed at right angles; there was also a Center Street. [2] Those streets and names have not survived to the present.
Triadelphia is a name derived from Greek meaning "three brothers" and is thought to have been inspired by Philadelphia, where the Roberts family originated. [3] The three brothers were Joseph, Nathan, and Samuel Roberts. Anticipating the town, Nathan purchased 160 acres from his brother Joseph in 1836, having paid $160. [4] A post office was established at Triadelphia in 1849, and remained in operation until 1930. [5] The town is thought to have been an important stop on the Underground Railroad due to the activities of William Woodward. [6] [7]
