History
Initial history
Union County has been under the rule of three countries in its history: France, Britain and the United States today. It was discovered by French explorer La Salle, along with merchants and missionaries who accompanied him. After the French and Indian Wars, the Paris Treaty of 1763 placed the territory under British rule. After the American Revolution, in 1783, the area was finally known as the Northwest Territory and part of the United States.
After the American Revolution, former soldiers from New England poured into Ohio after being granted land by the government. They surveyed the land, and sought to develop a state between Lake Erie and the Ohio River. Their proposal for territorial governance led to the issuance of Ordinance 1787, which guided the formation of countries within the Northwest Territories. The bitter struggle with American Indians over the next decade will follow, culminating with the battle of Tippecanoe in 1811, which saw the last defeat of American Indian tribes in Ohio led by Tecumseh. A famous victim of the wars between settlers and Indians is Jonathan Alder, who lives in and around the Union County area throughout his life.
Original Settlement
The first city to be laid out in this county is the Northern Liberty, founded by Lucas Sullivant in 1797, but the first settlement in the county was made in Jerome today by Joshua and James Ewing in 1798. An important settlement made in the area will be Abraham Amrine, of Swiss descent and a revolutionary soldier, in 1817, two miles (3 km) northwest of Marysville.
Formation
As part of the negotiations with Virginia, who had claimed land in Ohio, to sign the Confederate Budget, the United States gave them a claim to land in Ohio that would be known as Virginia Military District. Union County will be in this district. In 1803 Ohio would become a state.
After lobbying by Colonel James Curry, who represented the county in the legislature at the time and the residents of what would become the city of Jerome, Union County was founded by the Ohio legislature, and became official in 1820 with the appointment of original commissioner: Stephen Bell, Reuben Wallace, and John Huston. The regional commissioners eventually established cities, including Union (1820), Darby (1820), Mill Creek (1820), Jerome (1821), Paris (1821), Liberty (1822), Leesburg (1825), Allen (1827) , Jackson (1829), York (1834), Washington (1836), Dover (1839), Claibourne (1834), and Taylor (1849), while they set Marysville as the county seat.
