Hocking County
Genealogy
From Dust in the Attic
Hocking County was established March 1, 1818. It was named from the
Hockhocking River , which was named by the Delaware Indians, whom
called themselves the " Lenne-Lanape or real people. Hockhocking in
their
native tongue meant " bottleneck" . The Hockhocking River, renamed the
Hocking River , flows down narrow gorges and over water falls into wide
channels, looking like the shape of a bottle neck.
Hocking County is known for its natural beauty. With its lush forest, falls,
and rock formations, it is a tourist paradise. Surrounding the small town of
South Bloomingville, in Benton Township, which lies eleven miles west of the
county seat of Logan, are the " Hocking Hills State Park's ". The Hocking
Hills
State Parks consist of " Old Man's Cave, Ash Cave, Conkles Hollow, The
Rock House State Park and Cedar Falls".
