History

Former school

Landeck was built up around a Catholic church founded in the 1860s.[2] A post office called Landeck was established in 1871 and remained in operation until 1907.[3] The former school, pictured above, was a part of the Delphos City Schools School District.

Landeck is still centered around St. John the Baptist Catholic Church. The Church is a part of the Diocese of Toledo. The other major staple is the Landeck Tavern, known for its chicken.
