Three places on this list sit mostly outside Richland County. Galion’s 10,453 residents are
\noverwhelmingly Crawford and Morrow county residents — only a sliver of the city crosses into
\nSandusky Township. Crestline’s 4,525 population is almost entirely Crawford County, with a small
\nedge in Sandusky Township. Plymouth splits closer to the middle: its Richland County portion, in
\nPlymouth Township, is part of the Mansfield metro area, while the rest of the village lies in
\nHuron County. Newville, once an active crossroads in Worthington Township, has no remaining
\npopulation count on record and survives today only as a place name.<\/p>\n
