Van Wert is the county seat of Van Wert County, Ohio; it was surveyed for settlement in 1824, incorporated as a town in 1848 and chartered as a city in 1903. The area on which the settlement now resides was originally known as Black Swamp due to its swampy ground and mud, as well as its insect-borne malaria. The settlers were able to drain the swamp and reclaim enough dry land to begin the settlement. Local citizens (some of them) refer to themselves as “cheesemakers,” a reference to one of the city's former economic endeavors; it was at one time the only place in the world producing the very pungent Liederkranz cheese.
