Henry County is a small but productive northwest Ohio county with Napoleon as its county seat — a city named for the famous French emperor at a time when Napoleon was a popular cultural figure in early 19th-century America.

(the large grain and specialty chemicals company) having operations in the region. Major employers include ProMedica Henry County Hospital, Campbell Soup Company, and Tenneco. The county has a pleasant small-town character with German-heritage communities, and the Maumee River provides scenic recreation. The Henry County Fair is one of the area's most anticipated annual events.
