A Little About Lockington, Ohio by Wikipedia®
Lockington (originally founded as Locksport) is a village in Washington Township, Shelby County, Ohio, United States, along the Loramie Creek. The population was 208 at the 2000 census.
Located along the old Miami and Erie Canal, Lockington gets its name because it was the site of several canal locks. It sat at the junction of the main canal with a feeder coming from Port Jefferson and Sidney. The original locks are still partially intact and may be visited during daylight hours across the street from the fire department in the village.
