Bascom is a village in Seneca County, Ohio. It was planned out and developed in 1837; the Bascom Post Office opened in 1850 and has continued to operate since then. At one point in its history, Bascom had an electric streetcar which citizens would ride to Meadowbrook and back again. No other city in the nation had such a car at the time, and when exhibited at the St. Louis World's Fair, it received a great deal of attention. Today Bascom's citizens prefer a quiet rural lifestyle, free from the benefits and drawbacks associated with city living.
