Auglaize County, County seat in northwestern Ohio, United States.
Auglaize County spans 402 square miles of land with Wapakoneta as its administrative center, intersected by the Auglaize River and Miami-Erie Canal.
The county was formally established on February 14, 1848, becoming Ohio's second-smallest county by area with a population reaching 46,442 by 2020.
The name Auglaize stems from French or Native American origins, potentially meaning clay water or fallen timbers, reflecting the region's linguistic heritage.
The Board of County Commissioners maintains public services and governmental functions through their offices at the Berea sandstone courthouse, constructed in 1894.
Three major rivers - Saint Marys, Great Miami, and Scioto - have their headwaters within the county boundaries, contributing to its water resources.
