Good Hope

History

Good Hope was platted in 1849, although a small village had already existed there for some time. The community is said to have derived its name from Good Hope, Pennsylvania, the native home of a share of the early settlers. A post office was established at Good Hope in 1851, and remained in operation until 1965. It was only in 2012 that Good Hope had a waste treatment plant.

Geography

Good Hope lies at the intersection of State Route 753 with Washington-Good Hope and Camp Grove Roads. Indian Creek, which meets Paint Creek slightly more than to the south, runs on the western edge of Good Hope. It is located midway between Greenfield and Washington Court House, the county seat of Fayette County.
