Paulding County

Paulding County is an administrative division in northwestern Ohio that encompasses several small villages and rural communities. The county courthouse in Paulding village serves as the administrative hub where residents handle legal matters and government services.

The county was established in 1820 and named after John Paulding, a figure from the American Revolutionary War. Its creation marked an early step in organizing the frontier settlements of Ohio into formal administrative districts.

The courthouse sitting in Paulding village's center serves as a gathering point where people conduct legal and administrative matters. The building reflects the county's practical approach to governance and community life.

The courthouse sits in the center of Paulding village and is easy to find and access on foot. Visitors can use the drop box system for document submissions if offices are closed.

The construction of the Miami and Erie Canal in the early 1800s brought unusual growth and activity to the region. This period left marks on the landscape and brought workers who stayed and built communities that still exist today.
