Dicksonton is an extinct town in Perry County, in the U.S. state of Ohio.[1]
Dicksonton was established in 1875 by George Detwiler and W. H. Price as a mining community for both coal and iron ore. By 1883 the town had about 100 inhabitants, a general store, and a post office.[2] The coal mine and the store closed in 1897.[3] The Dicksonton post office was discontinued in 1908.[4]
