History[edit]

Noble County was formed on March 11, 1851 from portions of Guernsey, Morgan, Monroe and Washington counties.^[5] It was the last county to be formed in Ohio and therefore represents the youngest county in the state.^[6] It was named for either James Noble or Warren P. Noble, both of whom were early settlers in this region.^[7]

Noble County was home to the first North American oil well, the Thorla-McKee Well, discovered in 1814.^[8] It was the last of Ohio’s 88 counties to be formed, in 1851.^[9] In 1925, a United States Navy dirigible, USS Shenandoah (ZR-1), was caught in a storm over Noble County, and broke into several pieces. Of those on board, 14 were killed and 29 survived.
