Harrison County, County seat in eastern Ohio, United States.
Harrison County covers rolling terrain in eastern Ohio with extensive farmland and the Conotton Creek flowing through its landscape. The area includes several small towns with Cadiz as the administrative center.
Established in 1813 from neighboring counties, it was named after General William Henry Harrison, who became president years later. This naming reflects the region's connection to early American westward expansion.
Cadiz serves as the community center where regular events and gatherings reflect the county's rural heritage and close-knit traditions. Local residents maintain strong ties to the region's farming roots through seasonal celebrations and public meetings.
Exploring the county is best done by car since towns are spread across secondary roads and public transit is limited. Most services and administrative offices are centered in Cadiz, the main hub.
The Conotton Creek Trail is a well-maintained paved pathway built on a former railway line connecting Bowerston and Jewett. This route shows how old transportation corridors have been repurposed for recreation.
