Funk, Ohio
Funk is an unincorporated community in southwestern Plain Township, Wayne County, Ohio, United States. Because it is not tracked by the U.S. Census, a census population estimate is not available.
Funk is a hamlet and was platted under the name Austen in 1894. Before that, it was called Kauffman Corners. The name was changed to Funk to avoid confusion with another Austen, Ohio. The names Kaufman, Funk, and Austen all referred to local families who had owned land in and around Funk for generations.
There is some confusion for outsiders about the origins of Funk's name because they were never explicitly recorded in public records.
Funk is located at the intersection of South Funk Road and State Route 95, southwest of the county seat of Wooster.
