Hocking County, County in southeastern Ohio, United States
Hocking County spans 424 square miles of land with the Hocking River flowing through its terrain from northwest to southeast direction.
The county was established on January 3, 1818, through a redistribution of territories from Athens, Fairfield, and Ross counties in Ohio.
The name Hocking comes from the Delaware Indian language, referring to the river that crosses through this administrative region.
The county seat of Logan serves as the central point for government services, with offices located at specific addresses throughout the municipality.
The county contains three main waterways: the Hocking River, Salt Creek, and Raccoon Creek, which shape the local geography and water resources.
