Erie County On March 15, 1838, the Ohio government authorized the creation of Erie County. It was originally part of both Huron and Sandusky Counties.  The city of Sandusky is the county seat and there is 255 square miles. Located on Lake Erie, it played an important role in the Underground Railroad during the first part of the nineteenth century.
