Where can I find information about American Indian place names in Ohio?

Answer

We recommend the following reference works:

Bright, William. 2004. Native American placenames of the United States. Norman: University of Oklahoma Press.

Davis, Harold Eugene. Notes for a dictionary of Ohio Indian place names, VOL 1023. Ohio History Connection.

Mahr, August C. “Indian River and Place Names in Ohio.” Ohio History (1957) 66: 137-58.

Wikipedia. 2021. “List of place names of Native American origin in Ohio.” Last modified 4 January 2021.

Published county histories are also a good source for the history of cities and towns in Ohio.
