Zoar is an unincorporated community in northern Hamilton Township, Warren County, Ohio, United States.[1] It is located on the 3C Highway about one mile east of Hopkinsville and three miles west of Morrow in Virginia Military District Military Survey 1546.

A large share of the first settlers of Zoar were Germans.[2] By the 1840s, Zoar was a local commercial center.[3] With the construction of the railroad, business activity shifted away from inland Zoar, and the town's population dwindled.[3]
