Crawford County is located in north central Ohio and is named for Colonel William Crawford, a soldier during the American Revolution and the French and Indian War. He was also a surveyor and worked as a western land agent for George Washington. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crawford_County, Ohio
Bucyrus, the capital of Crawford County and the largest city in the county is locted in north central Ohio at US Rt. 3 & St. Rt. 4. It was named by Col. Kilbourne who desired a name for the town that was different from any place man had inhabited since the world was created. Some historians believe that Cyrus, the Persian general was Col. Kilbourne's favorite historical character and the town was named for him and since the country side around Bucyrus was beautiful, Kilbourne prefixed the syllable "bu" for beautiful and declared the name should mean "beautiful Cyrus". Others say the name Bucyrus is Egyptian, derived from Busiris, an ancient city in Egypt near the Nile. They believe the word pleased Kilbourne and he changed it to Bucyrus which he felt was a good sounding name. Bucyrus is the Bratswurst Capital of America and a Bucyrus Bratwurst Festival is held every year on the 3rd weekend of August. The town also has the unique distinction of being situated on the dividing line or highest ridge in the state. Water in one part of the city flows south to the Ohio, Missipppi and on to the Gulf of Mexico. In the other part of the city it flows north to the Sandusky and Lake Erie.
