Overview

Living in Cygnet

Cygnet is a small village in Wood County's Bloom Township, about 10 miles south of Bowling Green. It was platted in 1883 under the name Pleasant View, and a post office called Cygnet has operated continuously since that same year; the village was incorporated in 1889. Cygnet grew during Wood County's 19th-century oil boom, though its early decades were also marked by hardship — a fire on January 30, 1891 damaged much of the village, and a nitroglycerin explosion on September 7, 1897 killed at least six people. Today Cygnet remains a close-knit community of about 550 residents across a compact 0.33-square-mile village.
