CLARK COUNTY
State : Ohio
Origin/meaning
Clark County, near the state’s western border, was formed from parts of Greene, Champaign and Madison counties on March 1, 1818. It was named in honor of George Rogers Clark, a general during the Revolutionary War who later became the seal’s centerpiece.
The county flourished during the 1830s, with the completion of the National Road through Ohio, though most of the county remained rural.
The seal also pays tribute to resident Albert Belmont Graham, a country schoolmaster who founded the 4-H program.
