The American settlement of
Ohio
began in the early 19th century.  Isaac Zane and James McPherson first came to the
area as captives of the Wyandot and Shawnees, respectively. Tarhe-the Crane, the principal chief  of the Wyandot, adopted
the nine-year-old Zane after Wyandot warriors  captured the boy on a raid.  Zane grew up in the Wyandot culture, but a
prisoner exchange forced him to go back to his white home in
Virginia
.  Zane served in the Virginia House of Burgesses
(state government), but  after a couple of years he decided to return to his Indian home.  He came  back to
Logan
County
and
married Tarhe’s daughter, Myeerah.
Tarhe gave  Zane his village on the
Mad
River
and the Wyandot chief moved to Solomon's Town in the north central part of the
county.  The
Mad
River
village then became known as Zane's Town.  Isaac Zane became an  important liaison between the
Indians of
Logan
County
and the Americans.
The southern, southeastern and central regions of
Logan
County
were settled first by Americans.  The villages of
West Liberty
,
Zanesfield and Bellefontaine were officially laid out around 1820.  The rest of the county followed soon after, except in the
northwest corner.  This area remained part of the Lewistown Reservation until 1832.  Very few Americans moved there after
the Indians left because the land was too swampy to farm or build homes.
Settlement in this area did not begin in earnest until after the reservoir was built and much of the swampy land was covered
with the lake.  The population rose greatly after the state established
Indian
Lake
State Park
in 1898 and better roads and
railroads reached the region from other places in the county starting in the early 20th century.
