How Chardon began

Chardon was settled in 1808 -- the 1879 county history names the settler only as 'Jordan' -- and was chosen as the seat of Geauga County after Boston land agent Simon Perkins contracted on November 23, 1809 to convey 200 acres on behalf of Peter Chardon Brooks, for whom the town is named, to the county commissioners. The town square, still Chardon's civic center, was almost entirely destroyed by fire in 1868 before being rebuilt; the current courthouse dates to 1869. Chardon incorporated as a village in 1851 and became a city in 2001, growing from 381 residents in 1830 to 5,242 by 2020. It is the home of the Geauga County Maple Festival, held on the square every spring, and, on February 27, 2012, of a shooting at Chardon High School that killed three students.

Settled 1808, incorporated 1851 (village); 2001 (city), by Settled by 'Jordan' per the 1879 county history; the townsite conveyed to Geauga County by Boston land agent Simon Perkins, acting for landowner Peter Chardon Brooks, under a contract dated November 23, 1809.

Where the name comes from

Chardon is named for Peter Chardon Brooks, a Boston merchant who owned the land selected for the county seat and who, through his agent Simon Perkins, contracted in November 1809 to convey 200 acres to Geauga County's commissioners for the townsite.

Before the town

Stories

The fire that leveled the square

For nearly sixty years after Peter Chardon Brooks's land became Geauga County's seat of justice, the town square built up around its courthouse. Then, on the night of July 24-25, 1868, a fire that started in a grocery store tore through downtown Chardon, destroying the courthouse, the post office, and most of the stores ringing the square -- roughly $120,000 in damage, a heavy loss for a small county seat. A surviving photograph, taken afterward, shows Main Street strewn with rubble and the burned-out shell of the 1826 courthouse still standing at the far right of the frame. The county rebuilt quickly: a new courthouse went up in 1869 and still anchors the square today, the building whose Greek Revival form gives the Chardon Courthouse Square Historic District its National Register listing.

48,722 days of records, 1893-01-01 to 2026-10-28. 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.
