McClure, Ohio
McClure is a village in Henry County, Ohio, United States. The population was 700 at the 2020 census. History McClure was laid out in the late 1870s, and named after John McClure, an original owner of the town site. In the 1960s and the first half of the 1970s, McClure had the distinction of being the last place in Ohio with a manual telephone system.

The new company in 1908 bought the Bell equipment, and in 1909 changed its name to the Citizens Mutual Telephone Co. Long Distance calls were routed via Bell System equipment in Napoleon to th ...
