=== History ===
== Background ==


Ancient burial mounds and forts throughout the region showed evidence of the Hopewell Indians. In the 1600s, European explorers found the Delaware,  Shawnee, Mingo, Wyandot, Miami and other [[Indians of Ohio|Indian tribes]] living there. At one time France and Great Britain both held claims to the Ohio area. After the Northwest Territory was established, and the Treaty of Greenville signed, thousands of settlers came to the Ohio region. Among the early settlers were Revolutionary War soldiers who had been given bounty lands in southeast Ohio for their military service.
