Summary
School District 40 was created in 1872. The original schoolhouse was replaced in 1888 with a two-story wood-frame building located on the site of the extant Ohiowa Public School building. Over time it developed severe structural problems. In 1921 District 40 residents voted for a bond issue to build a new school. Completed in 1923, the Ohiowa Public School is significant for its contribution to the development of education in the community.
