Experience Trumbull County

Trumbull County, according to the Ohio Department of Development, was established July 10, 1800, making it the seventh county in the Northwest Territory.

It was named after Jonathan Trumbull who was governor of Connecticut at the time, and boasted a population of 1,302. The county seat is the city of Warren.

As part of the Great Western Reserve, the county covers over 615 square miles with over 70% of this land being woodland and cropland. There are approximately 123 farms utilizing around 123,000 acres of land.

Amish Country

Of course the Amish are a significant part of the county's agricultural component. They reside primarily in the north and western townships of the county.

Of particular significance is the very northwest township of the county. Traveling down Route 534 you would honestly believe that time had stood still for several decades as you come upon the village of Mesopotamia.

Travel along Route 534 from north to south or along Route 87 east and west and you will discover many Amish businesses and see them out working their farms and fields.

The Amish in the area are considered to be part of the Middlefield community which comprises the fourth largest Amish settlement in the country and the second largest Amish population in the state of Ohio. _________________________________________________________________
