History

Wauseon was platted 1853 when the Michigan Southern Air Railway was extended to that point. Land speculators bought 160 acres of land, which would become the City of Wauseon. The original name for the city was “Litchfield” after Litchfield, New York, where many of the city’s new settlers had emigrated from. However, Hortensia Hayes, the daughter of an early settler, suggested that the new village be named after an Ottawa Tribe Chief named Wauseon, who was forced by the federal government to forfeit their land, before moving to Oklahoma in 1839. The village was incorporated in 1859. With the commercial success that the railroad brought, Wauseon would grow larger than the original seat of Fulton County (Ottokee), and in 1869 Wauseon was named the county seat. The Fulton County Courthouse was built in 1871.

Between 1901 and 1939, the community was served by the Toledo and Indiana Railway, an interurban between Toledo and Bryan, Ohio. The construction of the Ohio Turnpike in the mid 20th century also helped lead to the commercial growth of Wauseon.
