Erie County, Administrative division in northwestern Pennsylvania, United States
Erie County spans across 1,558 square miles of land, encompassing both urban developments and agricultural areas along Lake Erie's southern shore.
The Pennsylvania General Assembly established Erie County on March 12, 1800, carving it from portions of Allegheny County's northern territory.
The county government maintains multiple public libraries, recreation centers, and educational facilities that serve the diverse population of 270,000 residents.
Erie County operates under a Home Rule Charter system, with administrative offices located in the city of Erie providing services from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM.
The county's position on Lake Erie creates a microclimate that produces specific conditions for grape cultivation, supporting numerous vineyards throughout the region.
