|content=Many of the early settlers of [[Wayne County, Ohio]] were German or of German descent. Other pockets of immigrants were of Swiss and French descent. Many individuals originally settled in Pennsylvania before moving westward to Ohio. Others came from Maryland and Virginia. Yet, other pioneers came directly to Wayne County, Ohio to join family and friends. The land was affordable and much of the geography reminded the early settlers of their native homes.
