Here's what Stacker had to say about the best county to live in Ohio:
"Delaware County, in central Ohio just north of Columbus, was named after a Native American tribe that was forced to move west of the Mississippi River. The discovery of natural gas in the area sparked industrial growth after the Civil War. Today it has golf courses, craft wines and brews, and shops. The Delaware [County] Fair continues to play host to the Little Brown Jug, part of the Grand Circuit series of harness racing."
