River Styx is an unincorporated community in Medina County, Ohio, United States. River Styx is located 4.5 miles from Wadsworth and 6.5 miles from Medina.

[2] The community and the nearby Styx River derive their names from the Styx, a river in Greek mythology. [3] The gloomy character of a nearby swamp caused the name to be selected.
