Fifteen is an unincorporated community in Washington County, in the U.S. state of Ohio.

History

A variant name is Fifteen Mile.[1] The community was so named on account of its location, 15 miles (24 km) from Marietta.[2] A post office called Fifteen was established in 1872, and remained in operation until 1918.[3]
