OTHER INFORMATION

Union County was formed from parts of Delaware, Franklin, Logan, and Madison counties. It was named because of its "union" with the parts of other counties. The county was popular during the nineteenth century for its Magnetic Springs which supposedly had curing powers.

Marysville, established in 1820 was named for the daughter of the city's first founder, Sammuel W. Cuthbertson. It was originally called Shady City because of the many maple trees along the streets. The Ohio State Woman's Reformatory is located here.
