Welshfield (also Troy, Troy Center, Troy Centre, or Wellsfield) is an unincorporated community in central Troy Township, Geauga County, Ohio, United States.
Welshfield was named for Jacob Welsh, a pioneer settler.[2] Jacob Welsh helped build a local church and school in exchange for the naming rights.[3] The community once had a post office that was established on February 23, 1838. When it was discontinued on December 30, 1958, the Burton office began to handle mail for Welshfield addresses.[4]
It lies at the intersection of U.S. Route 422 and State Route 700, east of the Cuyahoga River and east of the LaDue Reservoir.[5] Its elevation is 1,234 feet (376 m).
