Primrose is an unincorporated community in Williams County, in the U.S. state of Ohio.[1]

History

[edit]

A post office called Primrose was established in 1854, and remained in operation until 1904.[2] With the construction of the railroad, business activity shifted to nearby Alvordton, and the town's population dwindled.[3]
