About Erie County

Erie County, Ohio is located in the northwest corner of the state and is part of the Toledo Metropolitan Statistical Area. It was established in 1838 and named after the Erie tribe of Native Americans who once inhabited the area. The first settlers in the area were French fur traders who arrived in the late 1700s. The first permanent settlement was established in 1804 by a group of Quakers from Pennsylvania. The county was officially organized in 1838 and the first county seat was established in Milan. The county experienced rapid growth in the mid-1800s due to the construction of the Miami and Erie Canal, which connected the Great Lakes to the Ohio River. This allowed for increased trade and transportation of goods and people. The county was also home to a number of important industries, including iron and steel production, glass manufacturing, and agriculture. The county was also home to a number of important historical sites, including the Battle of Lake Erie, which was fought in 1813 during the War of 1812. Today, Erie County is home to a population of over 77,000 people. It is a largely rural area, with a number of small towns and villages. The county is home to a number of parks and recreational areas, including the Lake Erie Islands State Park, the Maumee Bay State Park, and the East Harbor State Park.
