Gallia County, County in southeastern Ohio, United States
Gallia County extends across 471 square miles of land and water, bordered by Vinton County to the north and Meigs County to the northeast.
The county received its name from the Latin word for Gaul and was officially established on March 25, 1803, from sections of Adams and Washington counties.
Welsh settlers established communities in 1818, making Welsh the second most spoken language in the region until 1970.
The county seat Gallipolis serves as the primary administrative center with government offices, public services, and local business establishments.
Several towns in Gallia County functioned as settlement centers for free African Americans and individuals who escaped enslavement during the 19th century.
