Tuscarawas County, Administrative county in northeastern Ohio, United States
Description
Tuscarawas County is an administrative county in northeastern Ohio cut through by a river running through fertile valleys with coal and stone deposits. New Philadelphia serves as the county seat and primary community hub.
History
A peace agreement negotiated in the 1760s between colonial forces and Native American tribes opened the region to European settlement. Moravian missionaries arrived afterward and founded Christian communities starting in the early 1770s.
Culture
The area reflects its heritage from Moravian missionary settlements established with Delaware Indians, where religious faith shaped daily community life. Visitors can still sense this spiritual foundation in the character of older neighborhoods and local traditions.
Practical
The county is accessible by car with main services concentrated in New Philadelphia and nearby towns offering shops and dining options. The river valley provides access to outdoor activities and trails for exploring the local landscape.
Did you know?
An old canal system once connected the region to major trade networks before railroads became the dominant form of transportation. This waterway was crucial to the area's early economic growth and shaped where communities developed.
