History

The community, which is named for a location in Judea, was used as a camp meeting site during the Second Great Awakening before its first permanent buildings were built in the 1850s. It grew from its religious origins into a small farming community noted for its corn.{{cite news |title=Schochoh |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/554000082 |accessdate=November 19, 2020 |work=The News-Democrat and Leader |date=September 18, 1975 |pages=46–47 |via=Newspapers.com}} The community holds an annual Christmas parade, which began in 1990.{{cite book |last1=Griffin |first1=Mark |title=Logan County |date=2006 |publisher=Arcadia Publishing |isbn=9780738543697 |page=42}}{{cite news |last1=Cooper |first1=Chris |title=Schochoh Christmas is a warm and friendly affair |url=https://newsdemocratleader.com/Content/Default/Local-News-Stories/Article/Schochoh-Christmas-is-a-warm-and-friendly-affair/-3/9/5000 |accessdate=November 19, 2020 |work=The News-Democrat and Leader |date=December 3, 2019}}
