Lorain County is located in the northeastern region of the great state of Ohio and covers an area of about 493 square miles. Established on December 26, 1822, the county was named after the French province of Lorraine, as its early settlers included French Huguenots. Elyria is the county seat, while the city of Lorain is the largest city in the area.
The region had long been occupied by various Native American tribes, such as the Eries, Hurons, and Iroquois, before European settlers arrived. The first permanent settler in the area was Herman Ely, who arrived in 1817, followed by a wave of settlers in the 19th century. The completion of the Ohio and Erie Canal in the 1820s and the arrival of the railroad in the mid-19th century helped to fuel the growth of the county's agriculture and industry.
Lorain County's economy has historically been based on agriculture, and manufacturing, with the latter significantly boosted by the growth of the steel and automobile industries in the early 20th century. Today, the county is home to various educational institutions, parks, and cultural attractions, such as the Oberlin College, which was founded in 1833 as one of the first colleges in the United States to admit women and African-American students.
Fun Fact: The historic "Spirit of '76" painting, which depicts a fife and drum corps during the American Revolutionary War and symbolizes American patriotism, was created by Archibald Willard, a Lorain County native. The painting has become an iconic symbol of American independence, making Lorain County an important landmark in the history of American art.
