The story so far

Naomi, in brief

Wikipedia doesn’t have a history of Naomi yet. The photos, dates and memories neighbors add here are how it gets written.

Naomi is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Washington Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, United States. As of the 2010 census, the population was 69. It is located in far northwestern Fayette County and is bordered by Fairhope to the east, Fayette City to the south, and Lynnwood to the north. The western border is the Monongahela River, which forms the Washington County line. Pennsylvania Routes 201 and 906 intersect in Naomi.

Between the 2010 and 2020 censuses its population fell from 69 to 53 (-23%).
