OTHER INFORMATION
Wayne County was originally very large. It included parts of what are now Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin. It was the third county formed from the Old Northwest Territory and named in honor of General Anthony Wayne of the Revolutionary War.
The county seat of Wooster was laid out in 1808. A German settler, August Imgard, was said to have put up the first Christmas tree in Ohio and possibly first in the nation in 1847.
