Williams CountyWilliams County was created on February 12, 1820 and was formed from Columbiana and Stark Counties. The County was named for David Williams, one of the captors of spy John André in the American Revolutionary War. The County Seat is Bryan. Williams County was originally much larger and the city of Defiance was the original county seat. Bryan became county seat when Defiance County was formed, which greatly reduced the size of Williams County. On February 12, 1820, the Ohio government authorized the creation of Williams County . Residents named the county in honor of David Williams, a hero of the American Revolution. Williams helped capture Benedict Arnold, the most notorious traitor in American history. Williams County was originally part of territory set aside for Ohio 's Indian people by the Treaty of Greeneville. The land comprising this county also came under dispute between Ohio and Michigan during the “Toledo War.” Williams County is located in the northwestern part of Ohio. Its western border helps form the boundary between Ohio and Indiana, and its northern border helps form the boundary between Ohio and Michigan.
