Sodom is an unincorporated community in Trumbull County, Ohio, United States.[1][2]

History

Sodom contained a post office from 1874 until 1903.[3] The community was so named when a temperance activist, remarking on the small turnout at a lecture he delivered, jokingly compared the community to the infamous biblical city of Sodom.[4]
