Delphos, Ohio

Delphos (pop: 6,900). (On the highway since 1915) Start digging a canal and before you know it, up pops a town...like Delphos. That's what happened in 1842 at the hand of the Brothers Bredeick, who soon enticed growth through their family fortune. In this town on July 16, 1917 the U.S. military convoy heading across the continent spent the night here, and the townsfolk made it a night remembered until this day, with dinners, dances and socializing. While in Delphos, see the reproduction "Control Station" sign located at the corner of Fifth and Main on the K&M Tire building. These were used to keep travelers on course across the country. A LH concrete post replica is also at this location.

The former Lincoln Highway Dairy on the western edge of town is now the subject of collectible milk bottles.
