Arbela is an unincorporated community in Washington Township, Union County, Ohio, United States. It is located at the intersection of Ohio State Route 739 and Cunningham-Arbela Road.[2]
Arbela was platted on July 25, 1838, by Marquis L. Osborne. Although Arbela was initially given 40 lots, not much of a town was ever built, only a school, grocer, and gunsmith.[3] The Arbela Post Office was established October 24, 1887, and discontinued May 31, 1907. Mail service is now sent through the Richwood branch.[4] However, the location where the post office once stood appears on some GPS apps along Cunningham-Arbela Road in Union County.
Telephone service was installed from Byhalia to Arbela in 1900.[5]
