Amesville /ˈeɪmzvɪl/ is a village in Athens County, Ohio, United States, located on Federal Creek. The population was 154 at the 2010 census.
Amesville was laid out in 1837. The village derives its name from Sylvanus and Nabby Lee Ames, pioneer landowners. A post office called Amesville has been in operation since 1820.
Amesville is located at 39°24′5″N 81°57′18″W / 39.40139°N 81.95500°W (39.401497, -81.955134).
Amesville is situated in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, approximately 45 miles south by southeast of the terminal moraine, a topographical feature often associated with the boundaries of glaciers, and is surrounded by wooded hills, narrow valleys, and numerous creeks flanked by lowland pastures and farmland.
These features are largely indicative of the areas in the State of Ohio that fall to the south of the terminal moraine. The terminal moraine in the State of Ohio, and to the north of Amesville, effectively serves to bisect the state along a line running on a west to east axis across the south by southeastern third of Ohio thereby contributing to certain distinctive topographical, socio-economic, and cultural attributes on either side of this feature.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 0.22 square miles (0.57 km2), all land.
