OTHER INFORMATION

Noble County formed in 1851 was the last of the 88 counties to be established. Warren Noble was chairman of the committee on new counties at the time of its formation.

The first oil well in Ohio was drilled in 1814 by Jo Caldwell, after whom the county seat was named. A short lived oil boom came after the Civil War, but the markets for salt and oil declined and the county returned to farming.

Although the topography of the county is hilly, this is one of the best apple growing districts in the state. Limestone and coal deposits are present. Other industries include; transportation equipment, bearings, steel washers, building brick, plastics, cattle, calves and dairy products.

Clerk of Courts has divorce & civil court records from 1851.
