Artanna is an unincorporated community in Knox County, in the U.S. state of Ohio.[1]

History

The community's name is an amalgamation of Arthur "Art" and Anna Wolfe, the proprietors of a local gas station that opened in the early 1930s.[2][3] For a time the community hosted cabins for travelers, owned by the same couple.[3]
