OTHER INFORMATION
Ross County was the sixth county formed from the Northwest Territory. James A. Ross was a Federalist politician and a friend of governor Arthur St. Clair.
The county seat of Chillicothe was once the capital of Ohio. It now houses a branch of the Ohio State University and the Chillicothe Correctional Institute for the State of Ohio. The canal era brought prosperity that compensated for the loss of the capital.
