Lucas County, County administration center in northwestern Ohio, US
Lucas County is an administrative division in northwestern Ohio that encompasses the city of Toledo and several smaller communities. The area covers flat terrain with access to Lake Erie and includes rivers, wetlands, and agricultural lands.
Lucas County was established in 1835, triggering a boundary dispute between Ohio and Michigan Territory over control of Toledo. This conflict, known as the Toledo War, ended with a settlement that secured the contested region for Ohio.
The Toledo Lucas County Health Department operates programs for community wellness, including free lead screenings and substance prevention initiatives.
The county administration center offers online services and in-person assistance for residents and visitors seeking public records and geographic information. Visiting administrative buildings is best done on weekdays during regular business hours.
The county contains protected natural areas such as Cedar Point National Wildlife Refuge, preserving wetlands that were once part of the Great Black Swamp.
