Description
This
image
shows
an
aerial
of
Village
of
Pomeroy
,
Ohio
.
Pomeroy
is
the
county
seat
of
Meigs
County
,
Ohio
. The
first
settler
,
probably
Nathaniel
Clark
,
arrived
in
1816
. The
town
was
named
for
Samuel
Wyllis
Pomeroy
,
who
was an
early
resident
of the
community
.
Although
Meigs
County
was
formed
in
1819
,
Pomeroy
did
not
become
the
county
seat
until
1841
.
Pomeroy
grew
quickly
. This
growth
primarily
resulted
from an
abundance
of
coal
in the
region
.
During
the
twentieth
century
,
Pomeroy's
economic
situation
deteriorated
.
Salt
and
coal
mining
declined
dramatically
,
forcing
many
residents
to
move
elsewhere
to
find
employment
. This
is
one
of the
lowest
per
capita
income
averages
and
highest
poverty
rates
in
Ohio
.
