COUNTIES.
OTTAWA.
OTTAWA COUNTY was formed March 6, 1840, from Sandusky, Erie and Lucas counties. Ottawa, says Bancroft, is an Indian word, signifying "trader." It was applied to a tribe whose last home in Ohio was on the banks of the Maumee. The surface is level, and most of the county is within the Black Swamp, and contains much prairie and marshy land. A very small portion of the eastern part is within the "fire-lands." There were but a few settlers previous to 1830. The emigration from Germany after 1849 was large, and its population is greatly of that origin. Their farms are generally small but highly productive, the drain- ing of the Black Swamp bringing into use the richest of land. On the penin- sula which puts out into Lake Erie are extensive plaster beds, from which large quantities of plaster are taken. Upon it are large limestone quarries, extensively worked. Area about 300 square miles. In 1887 the acres cultivated were 60,922 : in pasture, 16,311 ; woodland, 19,601 ; lying waste, 6,989 ; produced in wheat, 228,461 bushels; rye, 46,961; buckwheat, 101; oats, 223,003; barley, 22,134; corn, 505,787 ; meadow hay, 12,166 tons; clover hay, 5,226 ; potatoes, 41,237 bushels; butter, 265,064 lbs. ; sorghum, 317 gallons ; maple sugar, 460 lbs .; honey, 8,786 ; eggs, 184,174 dozen ; grapes, 6,993,216 lbs. (largest in the State) ; wine, 320,534 gallons (largest in the State) ; apples, 43,783 bushels ; peaches, 86,424 ; pears, 1,867 ; wool, 49,823 lbs. ; milch cows owned, 3,523 .- State Re- port, 1888. Limestone, 167,054 tons burned for lime, 261,085 tons burned for fluxing, 56,000 cubic feet of dimension stone, 16,333 enbic yards of building stone, 40,272 cubic yards for piers and protection purposes, and 3,534 cubic yards of ballast or macadam .- Ohio Mining Statistics, 1888.

Population in 1840 was 2,258 ; 1880, 19,762, of whom 12,793 were born in Ohio and 3,800 in the German Empire. Census, 1890, 21,974.
The first trial of arms in the war of 1812 in Ohio occurred in two small skir- mishes on the peninsula between the Indians, September 29, 1812, and a party of soldiers, principally from Trumbull and Ashtabula counties, one of whom, then a lad of sixteen, was Joshua R. Giddings.
