Pne of a couple of places entered into GNIS from an 1876 atlas, the only other reference I can find is a passing inclusion in a list of towns. There's nothing in the topos or aerials, and the location is an unlikely point in the middle of a forest, but it's a safe bet that the coordinates estimated from the altas are inaccurate. Searching is heavily masked by every other Hopeville in the country. Mangoe (talk) 03:51, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

- Delete "Hopeville is an unincorporated community..." Bollocks. Nothing on USGS topo maps: [https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/topoview/viewer/#14/39.7025/-84.9664], nothing on Gmaps: [https://www.google.com/maps/place/39%C2%B042'05.0%22N+84%C2%B058'14.0%22W/@39.6961059,-84.9775941,4854m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m4!3m3!8m2!3d39.701389!4d-84.970556?hl=en&entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDUyMS4wIKXMDSoJLDEwMjExNDUzSAFQAw%3D%3D]; this place seems to exist only in Wikipedia and the GNIS. It's possible the coordinates are an error, but regardless, the "is" in the text make this stub article a lie. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 11:53, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
