Lancaster, Ohio. Col. Ebenezer Zane of Wheeling founded Lancaster, Ohio on November 10, 1800. Zane was a famous merchant, trail blazer, pioneer and soldier. Following the defeat of the Indians at the Battle of Fallen Timbers in 1794, and the Treaty of Greenville in 1796, settlement within the interior of Ohio became fairly safe from the Indians, and Zane knew that the Ohio land would soon be occupied, so he took the chance while he could.

Today Lancaster has over 35,300 people living within the city walls. There continues to be growth and prosperity among the area, as people come into the city to work, become educated, and celebrate. There are many events and activities available for every part of the family, no matter if you’re looking to do something indoors or out. n.
