In 1824 Lorain County was created from parts of Huron, Cuyahoga and Medina Counties. For information around or before that date, you will want to visit those counties.

Elyria is our county seat and Wellington Village is the home of our county fair. The photo above is Lorain Harbor Lighthouse located at the mouth of the Black River.
