Holmes County, located in the great state of Ohio, was established on January 20, 1824. It was named after Andrew Holmes, a military officer who fought in the War of 1812 and was killed during a battle in 1814. The county is situated in the northeastern part of Ohio, with Millersburg serving as both its largest city and the county seat.

The region was initially inhabited by Native American tribes, including the Lenape (Delaware) people, who were eventually removed and forced to migrate to the West. European settlers, mainly from Pennsylvania, arrived in the early 19th century, attracted by fertile farmland and dense forests. The settlers brought agricultural and woodworking skills that contributed to the growth of the county.

Holmes County is known for its Amish community, which is the largest in the world. The Amish began settling in the area in the early 1800s, maintaining their traditional way of life and influence on the region. Today, the county is recognized for its picturesque landscapes, which include quaint Amish farms and scenic countryside vistas.

A fun fact about Holmes County is that it has the highest percentage of Amish population in the United States, with about 42 percent of its residents following the Amish faith. This has led to a unique blend of cultures and lifestyles, with Amish and non-Amish residents living and working side by side. The county is also famous for its Amish-made products, such as furniture, quilts, and delicious home-cooked meals, attracting millions of tourists every year.
