OTHER INFORMATION
    Wyandot County was named for the Wyandot Indians, whose major towns
were in the area. The land within the county once belonged to the Delaware
Indians who left in 1829 and to the Wyandot tribes who remained until 1842.
    Upper Sandusky, the county seat, was the site of the first Methodist
Indian Mission in the Mississippi valley. It was built by James Finley who
was once a bully nicknamed "The Newsmarket Deveil". The city didn't appeal
to Charles Dickens who spent a night here on his tour of America. His
comments in "American Notes" are not complimentary.
