Established by Arthur St. Clair, the governor of the Northwest Territory, Adams County was one of the first four counties in the region. It was named after then-president John Adams. Adams County is home to the Great Serpent Mound, one of the largest prehistoric Native American effigies on the continent. The Adena culture, one of the mother cultures for Midwestern Native American nations, is believed to have built the mound possibly as far back as 300 BCE. The mound is a 1,335-foot effigy of a partially coiled snake with an egg in its jaws.

History
Allen County was named after Colonel John Allen, who was killed during the War of 1812. The region was at first largely covered by a forbidding wetland called the Great Black Swamp. The treaty that ended the Ohio Indian Wars ceded the area to the Shawnee Tribe and other Native groups, slowing European colonization. But after the War of 1812, the Shawnee were pushed to reservations and settlers began moving in. The discovery of oil in the region fueled its growth and transformed Lima into an industrial center.

History
Ashtabula County is named for the Ashtabula River. "Ashtabula" comes from Algonquin, possibly meaning "river of many fish." Before the Civil War, the county served as an important stop on the Underground Railroad. It was the last place in Ohio freedom-seekers would pass through on the route to Canada. During the Civil War, the 29th Ohio Infantry Regiment, which fought in the Atlanta Campaign, was organized at Camp Giddings in Jefferson. After the rise of railroads, Ashtabula also became the unfortunate site of one of the U.S.'s deadliest railroad accidents. In 1876, a bridge over the Ashtabula River collapsed under a train, killing 92.

History
Auglaize County gets its name from the French words for “clay-filled water,” a name it shares with the river that runs through it. The territory of current-day Auglaize changed hands many times. Initially inhabited by the Shawnee Tribe, the French claimed it until 1763, when Britain gained control. However, neither the British nor the newly independent Americans settled the area immediately, despite having its land rights. Settlement began in the 1830s after the Shawnee in the area were removed to Kansas.

History
Belmont County was named after the French for “beautiful mountain.” Many of Belmont County’s early inhabitants were Quakers from Pennsylvania. Belmont was one of nine counties established before Ohio achieved statehood. During the Civil War, many of the county’s soldiers joined the 98th Ohio Infantry Regiment and took part in the pivotal March to the Sea, led by General William Tecumseh Sherman. Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, Belmont’s economy was driven by the coal, iron, and steel industries due to its position on the Ohio River. Today the county is one of Ohio’s largest natural gas producing counties.

Brown County is named for Major General Jacob Brown, a general in the War of 1812. Ulysses S. Grant, the Commanding General for the Union Army at the end of the Civil War and the 18th President of the U.S., spent much of his childhood in Georgetown. There he attended an academy operated by another notable Brown County resident, abolitionist John Rankin. In the 1860s, Brown County was the first site of burley tobacco production in the U.S. That tradition has continued, as the county now grows the second most tobacco in the state.

History
Butler County is comprised of land acquired by John Symmes, which was purchased from Congress in 1788. The county draws its name from Revolutionary War General Richard Butler, who was killed in the Battle of the Wabash against the United Indian Nations. Butler County was gravely affected by the Great Flood of 1913, which killed more than 100 residents. During the flood, the county’s courthouse was repurposed as a temporary morgue. Butler County is home to Miami University in Oxford, the second-oldest public institute of higher education in the state.

History
Carroll County is named for Charles Carroll, a signer of the U.S. Declaration of Independence who passed away just months before the county’s creation. Like its neighbors Columbiana County and Tuscarawas County, Carroll County’s earliest European settlers were Moravian missionaries. During the Civil War, a Carroll County family known as the Fighting McCooks had fifteen members fight for the Union. Six of them reached at least the rank of general. A county native played an important role in World War II as well. Charles Wilson, born in Minerva, was the president of General Motors during the war and oversaw the company’s manufacturing of armaments.

History
Clark County was named for George Rogers Clark, a Revolutionary War colonel who pushed the British and their Native American allies from the Trans-Appalachian frontier. The county began to prosper in the 1830s, as the completion of the National Road through Ohio opened trade routes and spurred immigration. In the 1850s, Springfield industrialist William N. Whiteley invented a combined reaper and mower. It soon became an agriculture-industry mainstay, and Springfield became a leading manufacturer of farm equipment. One of the earliest of the 4-H club’s “learning by doing” programs also began in Springfield, in 1902.

History
Clermont County’s name comes from the French for “clear mountain,” which is how explorers described it in the 1600s. Before colonization, Clermont was home to Native peoples including the Shawnee, Miami, Delaware, Seneca-Cayuga, Ottawa, Cherokee, and Wyandotte. The Wyandotte maintained a village in present-day Jackson Township until 1811. The region’s first settler village, Williamsburg, was established in 1796. Clermont County has attracted a variety of businesses in recent years. Nestle Purina is building an ultra-modern pet food plant that will employ 300. FC Cincinnati, the professional soccer team, opened a state-of-the-art training facility in the county.

Clinton County is named after George Clinton, the US Vice President from 1805-1812, serving under both Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. The first white settlers in the area arrived between 1797 and 1799 and are believed to be three men by the names of Morgan Van Meter, Amos Wilson, and David Sewell. Many of the county's early residents were members of the Society of Friends (Quakers). They played an important role in the Underground Railroad from the 1830s through the 1860s, helping runaway slaves find freedom in the North. The Quakers also established Wilmington College during the 1870s.

History
Columbiana County is named for Christopher Columbus and Queen Anne of Great Britain. Located in the heart of Appalachia, its leading industry early on was agriculture. The Ohio River and other waterways connected the county to markets in Pennsylvania and elsewhere. Roadways built in the early 1800s spurred development. Industry expanded with the construction of railroads in the 1840s and 1850s. During those years, James Bennett, an English potter, opened a pottery plant in East Liverpool to capitalize on local clays. The city soon became a center ceramics production. The county remains one of the world’s largest suppliers of kaolin for ceramics.

History
Before the Revolutionary War, the region that would become Cuyahoga was part of the Connecticut Western Reserve. The state ceded control to the Northwest Territory after Independence, shortly before Ohio became a state. Cuyahoga’s name was drawn from a Native American term for “crooked river.” It borders Lake Erie, the fourth largest of North America’s five Great Lakes. The county’s location at the crossroads of shipping routes along the Great Lakes and the Ohio and Erie Canal made it a major turn of the century industrial center. Though industry has declined, Cleveland is still one of Ohio’s largest cities.

History
Early inhabitants of present-day Coshocton County were the Delaware Tribe. The Delaware gave the county its name, meaning “black bear crossing.” The convergence of the Tuscarawas and Walhonding rivers in Coshocton County provides it with rich soil. The rivers motivated the designers of the Ohio and Erie Canal to pass it through the county, which fueled the county’s agricultural and industrial growth. The canal later played an important role in the Underground Railroad, as freedom-seekers followed it to Canada.

History
Crawford County is named after William Crawford, a Revolutionary War soldier. In 1782, Colonel Crawford led an army to what is now Crawford County. Their mission was to quell raids on the frontier settlements from the Wyandotte, Delaware, and Shawnee tribes. The army encountered tribespeople and British soldiers, and eventually retreated. While retreating, Crawford became separated, and his troops, now led by Major Rose, engaged in combat in “The Battle of Olentangy,” the last battle of the Revolutionary War involving British regulars. Colonel Crawford was captured and killed by the Delaware in retaliation for the massacre of Lenape and Mohican tribes in the area.

History
The area that is now Darke County was once home to several Native American nations, including the Wyandotte, the Shawnee, and the Potawatomi. The area was opened to European settlement after the Treaty of Greenville, signed at the site of modern-day Greenville. The county is named after William Darke, a military leader in the colonial and independence era. Darke was a foster father to Thomas Worthington, an early advocate for Ohio statehood. Darke County is one of the highest-producing agricultural counties in Ohio, ranking first in crop production and second in livestock and poultry production.

History
Defiance County has been home to several military installations during its history. In the 1790s, General Anthony Wayne built Fort Defiance, from which the county gets its name. The name was inspired by a statement made by Charles Scott, leader of a Kentucky militia in support of Wayne, “I defy the English, Indians, and all the devils of hell to take it.” During the War of 1812, Fort Winchester was built in the county as a forward site against the British and their Native American allies. Finally, during the Civil War, Camp Defiance was built to assist training Ohio volunteers.

History
Erie County takes its name from the Erie, a Native American tribe that once lived in the region. Lake Erie brought the first European settlers to the area in the 1700s through the trapping and fur trading industry. Later, Erie County became an important stop along the Underground Railroad, with "abolition boats" transporting freedom seekers to Canada. Today, Erie County is a center for agriculture, manufacturing, and tourism. It is also home to Cedar Point, one of the largest and most visited amusement parks in the world.

Named for its "fair fields," the area comprising modern day Fairfield County has been inhabited for thousands of years. When Christopher Gist, one of the first European explorers to map the area, reached Fairfield County, it was inhabited by the Shawnee Tribe, as well as the Iroquois and Wyandotte. Like many other regions in the state, the county saw its economy and population grow after the construction of the Ohio and Erie Canal. The Fairfield County fairgrounds are on the site of Camp Anderson, an army base established in the early days of the Civil War to help train Ohio soldiers.

History
Named for inventor Benjamin Franklin, Franklin County has been home to Ohio's capital since 1812. The capital moved from Chillicothe to Zanesville and back before settling in Columbus, a brand-new city designed for that purpose. Before the abolition of slavery, the county's central location in a free state bordering slave states made it a hub on the Underground Railroad. One conductor, Ozem Gardner, helped an estimated 200 formerly enslaved people reach freedom in Canada. In 2018, Columbus was selected as the site for the National Veterans Memorial and Museum, a museum focusing on veterans themselves rather than the conflicts they fought in.

History
Fulton County was named for Robert Fulton, the inventor of the steamboat. The northern portion of Fulton County was part of the "Toledo strip," a strip of land that became the subject of a border dispute between Ohio and Michigan over which entity "owned" it. The disputed territory was eventually awarded to Ohio. During the Civil War, men from Fulton County primarily served in the 100th Ohio Infantry Regiment and the 111th Ohio Infantry Regiment. Both regiments took part in the March to the Sea campaign. Today, the county is a productive agricultural site, particularly of floriculture and sod.

History
Gallia County was originally settled by French immigrants. The name is derived from "Gaul," the Latin word for the area comprising much of modern-day France. Gallipolis was one of the earliest settlements in the Northwest Territory. When the first French settlers arrived in the region, they discovered that the company that had sold them the land did not legally own it and were forced buy it a second time. Congress offered free land to those settlers in current-day Scioto County. While some settlers took the offer, others remained in Gallia and gave the area its name.

Geauga County is named after the Onondaga word meaning "racoon." The name is an homage to the Iroquois Confederacy, which had used the area as a hunting ground since the 1650s. The first permanent white settlement was Burton, founded in 1798. Other towns cropped up in the years that followed. An early industry in the county was syrup production. This tradition continues to this day with the Geauga County Maple Festival. The county is home to the second-largest Amish population in the state and the fourth largest in the country.

Greene County is named after Nathanael Greene, a general in the Revolutionary War. The first white settlement in the area was founded in 1796, when John Wilson and his four sons each built a log structure in the southwest portion of the county. Greene County has an important place in aviation history. In 1905, the Huffman Prairie Flying Field became the site of the flight of the first practical airplane, the Wright Flyer III, by the Wright brothers. The county lies on a tornado plain. One of the country's strongest recorded tornados passed through Xenia in 1974.

Guernsey County draws its name from the Isle of Guernsey in the English Channel, from which many of its original settlers emigrated. The construction of the National Road, the first formal highway in the U.S., passed through Guernsey County and stimulated its economy. One of the only Civil War skirmishes in Ohio took place in the village of Old Washington, where Union soldiers killed three Confederate cavalrymen. In the 1900s, the county was a significant glass manufacturing site.

History
Hamilton was the second county formed from the Northwest Territory, after Washington. It was named for U.S. Founder Alexander Hamilton. Its early years were shaped by the Ohio Indian Wars. While most Native peoples were pushed from eastern Ohio during the Revolution, the Shawnee, Delaware, and Wyandotte continued to fight to hold their western territories until 1795. After the war's end, Hamilton County grew quickly, buoyed by its proximity to Ohio River trade routes. Its location across the river from Kentucky, a slave state, also made it an important site for Abolitionist activism and a stop on the Underground Railroad.

Hancock County was formed from land previously reserved for Ohio's Native Americans under the Treaty of Greenville. The county harbored many safehouses on the Underground Railroad, which assisted Black people fleeing slavery on their northward journey to Canada. Later, the county became home to a large natural gas development, leading many glass-based manufacturers to locate themselves in and around Findlay. Hancock County's manufacturing tradition continues today, with companies such as Whirlpool Corp. and Cooper Tire & Rubber Co. located within the county.

History
Named after the Revolutionary War officer John Hardin, Hardin County is on land that was once reserved for Native American nations under the Treaty of Greenville. Much of the county's terrain can be traced back to glaciers that receded from the area more than 10,000 years ago. The Scioto Marsh was created by the retreating glaciers. When it was drained by Hardin County residents in the late 1800s, it became the fertile farmland the county is famed for. Agriculture remains the prime industry in Hardin County.

Franklin College, an early educational institute in the county, educated many future leaders including eight U.S. senators, nine U.S. representatives, and two governors. Several prominent figures in the Civil War hailed from the county, including John Bingham, Edwin Stanton, and General Thomas Vincent. Harrison County has a long history of energy production, producing oil in the 1890s, coal throughout much of the 1900s, and natural gas currently.

History
Named after the revolutionary statesman Patrick Henry, Henry County was formed from land once part of Northwest Ohio's famous Great Black Swamp. Early settlers, primarily German immigrants, worked to clear the land and drain the swamp. Agriculture quickly became a prominent industry in Henry County and remains important to this day. Early development was also fostered by the completion of the Miami Erie Canal in 1845. This led to the rise of "canal towns" such as Florida, Damascus, and the county seat, Napoleon. Following the Civil War, small towns began to develop throughout the county along railroad junctions and commercial stops.

History
Highland County is named after its terrain because it is located on the high land between the Scioto River and the Little Miami River. While the Shawnee Tribe resided in what is now Highland County long before Europeans moved past the Appalachian Mountains, the first white settlement in the county is believed to be New Market, founded in 1797. Many Highland County men who served in the Civil War were in the 1st Ohio Cavalry Regiment. The regiment fought as part of General William Tecumseh Sherman's March to the Sea campaign, which played a major role in defeating the Confederacy.
