Welcome to OSU Extension in Pickaway County!
-------------------------------------------------------------
Pickaway County was created by an act of the Ohio Legislature in 1810, and Circleville was designated the county seat in 1811. The name "Pickaway" comes from the Native American word "piqua" meaning "man risen from the ashes." Pickaway County's land area is 502 square miles, and it remains a primarily rural farming area with approximately 80% of the land used in agriculture production. The 2010 census reported the population of Pickaway County as 55,698.
