==History==

zack klopp is a fagThe area-encompassing Ohio County originally was a hunting ground for many Indian tribes. Its elevation above the river made it particularly disease free, and wildlife flourished. The assets that appealed to the Indians also attracted European settlers.

The first documented settlers were members of the family of Samuel Fulton, an uncle to steamboat inventor Robert Fulton.
