Fairfield County, located in the southeastern region of the great state of Ohio, has a rich history that traces back to its establishment in December 9, 1800. Named after the picturesque landscape of the area, Fairfield County was carved out of the lands originally claimed by Native Americans, including the Wyandot, Mingo, Shawnee, and Delaware tribes. European settlers, primarily of English and German descent, were drawn to the fertile farming lands and the possibility of new life in the area.

The county seat, Lancaster, was founded in 1800 by Ebenezer Zane, an American pioneer, and was named in honor of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Fairfield County played a vital role during the early years of Ohio's statehood, being the home to notable figures such as William Tecumseh Sherman, a Union General during the American Civil War, and his brother John Sherman, a Senator and author of the Sherman Antitrust Act.

Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, Fairfield County experienced significant economic development due to its agricultural industry and its strategic location along various important roads and rail lines. Over time, agriculture diversified with industries such as glass manufacturing, construction, and healthcare.

Fun fact: Fairfield County is home to a mysterious geographical feature known as the Great Circle Earthworks, which is part of the Newark Earthworks, built by the ancient Hopewell culture between 100 B.C. and 500 A.D. It is a large circular earthen enclosure that served as a ceremonial and social gathering place. This extraordinary site has been recognized as a National Historic Landmark and attracts thousands of visitors each year.
