Hocking County is located in southeastern Ohio and is known for its picturesque landscapes and natural beauty. Established on March 1, 1818, the county was named after the Hockhock-ing River, which was derived from the Delaware Indian word "Hoch-Hoch-ing" or "Hoch-ing" meaning "Bottle River" or simply "bottle." The name reflects the unique formation of the river that resembles a bottle.

In the early 19th century, Hocking County was primarily inhabited by Native American tribes like the Shawnee, Delaware, and Wyandotte. European settlers started arriving after the Revolutionary War, drawn by the fertile farmland and abundant natural resources. The region's economy initially centered around agriculture, with corn, wheat, and livestock as the primary products.

As industrialization expanded in the 19th century, Hocking County became a major center for coal, iron, and salt production. The county also became a transportation hub, with the Hocking Canal and several railroads making it accessible for trade and transportation. However, eventually, the decline of the coal mining industry, deforestation due to extensive logging, and changes in transportation led to economic stagnation in the 20th century.

In recent decades, Hocking County has reinvented itself as a beloved destination for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers, with the Hocking Hills State Park and Wayne National Forest offering picturesque trails, waterfalls, and rock formations. Some popular attractions include the Old Man's Cave, Ash Cave, and Cedar Falls.

Fun Fact: It is believed that Hocking County is home to the second-largest population of black bears residing within the state of Ohio. This fact has resulted in Hocking Hills being nicknamed "The Black Bear Capital of Ohio," adding to its unique charm for tourists and wildlife lovers alike.
