Firelands, Historical region in northern Ohio, United States
The Firelands encompasses 500,000 acres across Erie County, Huron County, and parts of Ottawa and Ashland Counties in northern Ohio.
Connecticut allocated this territory in 1792 as compensation for residents whose properties British forces destroyed during the American Revolutionary War.
The region maintains strong educational institutions, with the first school established in 1810 by teachers Alvin Coe and Jamar Ruggles.
The Firelands territory contains thirty townships, each measuring five square miles, following surveys conducted between 1806 and 1808.
The name Firelands derives from the term Fire Sufferers' Lands, referencing Connecticut residents who lost their homes to British attacks in 1779.
