History

A post office in Chautauqua County called Ozro operated from 1888 to 1892.^[2]

Osro’s location is within a mile of Osro Falls, also known as Ozro Falls, an old covered wagon crossing point on the Caney River.^[3][4] The waterfall only measures about 3 feet in height, but extends nearly 200 feet across the river.^[4]
