Genealogy Trails is a volunteer-based project dedicated to transcribing historical and genealogical data. Our goal
is to post as much data online as possible in order to make it freely available to all. We gratefully accept your
contributions of data such as census information, marriage/birth/death records, old photos, obituaries, family
histories, biographies, old newspaper items - anything that would help someone build their family tree! We consider
every nugget of data an important piece of the genealogy puzzle. If you have information to donate, please email
us with your contributions.
Thanks and Happy Trails!

History
Ross, Athens and Fairfield counties were split to create Hocking county and on March 1, 1818, by an Act of the
Ohio General Assembly, Hocking county became official. Hocking County derived its name from the Indian word "Hoc-Hock-ing"
which means "a bottle". The Hocking River flows through the county, which was once claimed by the Wyandot
Indians. Logan is the county seat of Hocking County, Ohio. Residents named the town in honor of Chief Logan of
the Mingo Indian tribe.
