History

The municipality is located in Southeast Ohio on the Ohio River. The Scioto Company did not actually own the land, which was not the land of milk and honey that they anticipated. However, the deeds that they had purchased proved worthless upon their arrival via riverboat. So the disillusioned settlers petitioned Congress and President George Washington for aid, and as a result, the Ohio Company sent a group of woodsmen from Marietta, Ohio to build a log cabin settlement on what is now the city park. In 1803 Gallia County (in honor of the Gauls), was established by the Ohio state legislature.
