- 11 in the worst tenth of the 88
- of the 85 counties with anything flagged

"Losing ground on Ohio" compares trends, not levels: a county can be losing ground while its own number improves, if the rest of the state improved faster over the same years.

How Coshocton County began
Coshocton County was formed by the Ohio General Assembly on January 31, 1810, from parts of Muskingum and Tuscarawas counties and organized in 1811, taking its name from a Delaware (Lenape) word rendered by the Moravian missionary David Zeisberger as "Goschachgunk" and translated by modern sources as either "union of waters" or "black bear crossing" (town). Its seat and namesake city, Coshocton, sits exactly on the site of Goschachgunk itself, the Delaware Nation's capital town at the forks where the Walhonding and Tuscarawas rivers join to form the Muskingum, home in the 1770s to the sachems Netawatwees and White Eyes and destroyed by an American militia and Continental Army expedition under Colonel Daniel Brodhead in April 1781. Euro-American settlers laid the town out in 1802 as "Tuscarawas" and renamed it Coshocton when it became county seat in 1811. The county's nineteenth-century identity was built on the Ohio and Erie and Walhonding canals, whose surviving canal port, Roscoe Village (originally Caldersburgh, founded 1816), is now a restored heritage site anchoring the county's history as ground where Ohio's Native and canal-era pasts sit unusually close together.
Coshocton was laid out in 1802 as "Tuscarawas," after the river, directly on the site of Goschachgunk, the Delaware capital destroyed twenty-one years earlier; the Ohio legislature renamed it Coshocton and made it county seat in 1811 when the new county was organized. The Coshocton County Courthouse, a Second Empire building with Italianate details at 349 Main Street, was built in 1873 (completed 1875) by the Meadville, Pennsylvania firm of Carpenter & Williams and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 22, 1973; it remains in use today.

Almost every day here is a measurement: 96% of them come from a rain gauge standing inside Coshocton County itself.
49,714 days of records, 1887-08-01 to 2026-10-29. Source: NOAA NCEI GHCN-Daily, 3,240 gauges in and around Ohio. A day is "gauged" when a gauge standing inside the boundary reported it, and the value is the mean of those gauges. Otherwise it is interpolated by inverse distance from every gauge reporting within 50 miles. Nothing is carried forward, back-filled or smoothed. Against NOAA nClimDiv county monthly precipitation over 136,848 complete county-months (checked 2026-10-31): correlation 0.9515, median absolute difference 0.217 in a month. Built 2026-10-31 from the Cracked Buckeye precipitation archive. Snow is the softer number — snowfall is measured by hand with a ruler, no agency publishes a gridded county snowfall series, and blowing snow defeats every observer.

How did Coshocton County get its name?
Coshocton takes its name from the Delaware (Lenape) name for the Native capital town that stood on the same ground, recorded by the Moravian missionary David Zeisberger in his 1780s diary in the German spelling "Goschachgünk." Modern sources give two overlapping translations: "union of waters," describing the town's position at the confluence of the Walhonding and Tuscarawas rivers forming the Muskingum, and "black bear crossing" or "black bear town." Both are in current circulation and no single source we found resolves which is more original; they are given here as reported, without adjudicating between them. Source
