Muskingum County, Administrative county in Ohio, United States.
The Muskingum River divides this 673-square-mile territory, creating distinct landscapes with rolling hills, forests, and agricultural lands throughout the region.
Established in 1804, the county derives its name from a Delaware Native American word meaning 'town by the river,' reflecting its connection to early settlements.
The Muskingum County Library System maintains over 328,000 volumes across multiple branches, supporting education and literacy throughout the local communities.
The county seat of Zanesville connects major transportation routes, providing access to Columbus and serving as a central point for government services.
The confluence of Muskingum and Licking Rivers features the Y Bridge, an engineering structure allowing traffic to cross in three different directions.
