Meigs County Courthouse (Ohio)

The Meigs County Courthouse is a local government building in Pomeroy, Ohio, United States. Built in the 1840s in this Ohio River village, it serves as the seat of government for Meigs County, and it is one of Ohio's oldest courthouses still used for its original purpose.
==Historic context==
In 1819, Meigs County was separated from Gallia County, and a courthouse and jail were soon built in the community of Chester.〔Larkin, Stillman Carter. ''(The Pioneer History of Meigs County )''. Columbus: Berlin, 1908.〕 This building, known as the Old Meigs County Courthouse, remains in existence; it is the oldest standing courthouse in Ohio.〔(Meigs County Courthouse ), Supreme Court of Ohio, n.d. Accessed 2012-11-23.〕 Within twenty years, Chester was in decline and the new riverside village of Pomeroy was growing in prominence; the resulting change of county seat status from Chester to Pomeroy, accomplished in 1841,〔Owen, Lorrie K., ed. ''Dictionary of Ohio Historic Places''. Vol. 2. St. Clair Shores: Somerset, 1999, 987-988.〕 was later deemed the "one great event" in the county's history.〔 In 1845, the Meigs County Commissioners arranged for the construction of a new courthouse in Pomeroy, contracting with S.S. Bergin to be the architect;〔Thrane, Susan W. ''County Courthouses of Ohio''. Bloomington: Indiana UP, 2000, 25-26.〕 construction was overseen by County Commissioner John C. Hysell,〔 and the building was completed in 1848.〔 Fifteen years later, the courthouse was used as a temporary jail for more than two hundred of Morgan's Raiders who had been captured in the Battle of Buffington Island in Meigs County.〔(Marker #12-53 Morgan's Raid Route Pursuers converge on Pomeroy / Meigs County Courthouse ), Ohio Historical Society, 2001. Accessed 2012-11-23.〕
