OTHER INFORMATION
Champaign County was formed in 1805 from parts of Greene and Franklin counties. The name is from a French word which mean "a plain," referring to the level land. It is located about 40 miles northwest of Columbus. The county seat for both Champaign County Ohio and Champaign County Illinois is Urbana.
The city of Urbana was laid out in 1805 by Colonel William Ward whose grandson, John Q.A. Ward became one of Ohio's greatest sculptors. The city's name comes from the Latin word for "city." Urbana is the only city in the county and is a diversified manufacturing and trade center.
