Nature
Scioto Marsh, the largest of three extensive marsh areas in western Hardin County, formed in the low basins left by the last retreating glacier 10,000 years ago. It covered more than 16,000 acres and was thought by early settlers to be a source of malaria. A drainage project began in 1859, and the remaining peat-ladened soil helped make this a rich agricultural area.
