OTHER INFORMATION

Wyandot County was named for the Wyandot Indians, whose major towns were in the area. The land within the county once belonged to the Delaware Indians who left in 1829 and to the Wyandot tribes who remained until 1842.

Upper Sandusky, the county seat, was the site of the first Methodist Indian Mission in the Mississippi valley. It was built by James Finley who was once a bully nicknamed "The Newsmarket Deveil". The city didn't appeal to Charles Dickens who spent a night here on his tour of America. His comments in "American Notes" are not complimentary.

Probate Judge has marriage records from 1845, death records from 1845 to 1908, burial records from 1845 to 1908 & probate records from 1845; Clerk of Courts has divorce & civil court records from 1845; County Recorder has land records from 1845; County Health Department has birth records from 1845 to 1908.
