OUR HISTORY
The original Upper Sandusky was established in the 1790s and inhabited by the Wyandot Indians. They lived here until 1842, after which time Upper Sandusky promptly became the Wyandot County seat in 1843. It is referred to as "Upper" because of its location on the Sandusky River. The community prospered during the 19th and 20th centuries due to its convenient location along various transportation routes. Multiple industries located in Upper Sandusky kept the town thriving through the 1990s and into the 21st century.
