About Scio, OR

Turner suggested McKinney come up with a name for the place, and McKinney used the name of his former home, Scio, Ohio. Scio in Ohio is, in turn named for a Greek island called Chios ; the Italian version of the name is Scio. Scio post office, headed by postmaster Euphronius Wheeler, was established on October 3, 1860.
