Wyandot County is a small north-central Ohio county with Upper Sandusky as its county seat — a community whose name preserves the memory of the Wyandot people (also known as Huron), the Native American nation who were the last tribe to be forcibly removed from Ohio in 1843, ending thousands of years of continuous Indigenous presence in the state. The county's history is thus a poignant blend of the Wyandot Nation's legacy and the subsequent settlement of German and other European immigrants who developed the land's agricultural potential. Spiegel Grove (Hayes Presidential Library) is nearby in Fremont. Major employers include Wyandot Inc. (snack food manufacturing — one of the largest employers in the county), Wyandot Memorial Hospital, and agricultural businesses. The county's gently rolling terrain and fertile soils support corn, soybean, and livestock production. The Wyandot County Museum in Upper Sandusky preserves this complex heritage.
