Meigs County is located in southeastern Ohio, along the Ohio River. Established on April 1, 1819, it was named in honor of Return J. Meigs Jr., a war hero and the fourth Governor of Ohio. Its county seat is the village of Pomeroy.

The history of Meigs County dates back to the Native American presence, notably the Adena and Hopewell cultures that left behind earthen mounds as evidence of their occupation in this region. European explorations began in the 17th century with French and British explorers, followed by white settlement in the latter part of the 18th century.

During the 19th and early 20th centuries, Meigs County played a vital role in the salt and coal industries. In the early 1800s, the salt industry saw a boom, with a high demand for preserving food, and Meigs County became one of the leading salt producers in the United States. Coal was discovered in Meigs County in the 1830s and quickly became a significant industry in the region. These industries attracted many immigrants from European countries, contributing to the cultural diversity of the county.

Due to its location along the Ohio River, Meigs County was also part of the Underground Railroad network. Abolitionists in the area assisted runaway slaves on their journey to freedom, helping them cross the river from Virginia (now West Virginia) and subsequently providing them shelter and guidance.

Fun fact: In the 1940s, Meigs County was designated as the "Frog Capital of the World." Earl Jones, a resident of the county, was renowned for his success in raising and exporting frogs to New York City restaurants. At its peak, he reportedly shipped about 5,000 frogs per week, contributing to his international nickname, "The Frog King."
