Welcome to Lawrence County W

elcome to Lawrence County, the southernmost area in the great state of Ohio.

James Lawrence, who when wounded on the deck of his ship, The Chesapeake, famously uttered the line “Don’t give up the ship” The Lawrence County Courthouse was built in 1908. The county was once rich in iron, which gave rise to the names of its county seat, Ironton.

ANSWER BOOK | 2026

County named for captain who coined

'Don't give up the ship!'

emember that famous Civil War battle every child learns about in school? The battle between the warships, the Monitor and the Merrimac. Guess from where the iron for the Union ship, the Monitor, came? That’s right. Lawrence County. Bordering the beautiful Ohio River, Lawrence is a county rich in industrial history. For almost a century, it was the international headquarters of the pig iron industry. Thousands of tons of iron were produced through almost all of the 19th century. Supplies of iron went out not only to the developed parts of the United States, but also across the Atlantic Ocean to England, which also used that iron for its battleships. There was a time when Lawrence County was a part of Washington County, which reached from the Scioto River, near where Portsmouth

is today, to the Pennsylvania border. Adams County was first carved from Washington County, taking the territory west of the upper boundary of the French Grant and of a line running north from the interior point of that boundary. After 1803, all of Lawrence County was included in Gallia, except a few small sections in the eastern part of Elizabeth Township, which belonged to Scioto County. Just a few days before Christmas in 1816, Lawrence County was formed. It got its name from Capt. James Lawrence, famed American naval officer who battled the British and died from his wounds as he commanded his ship. His death cry, “Don’t give up the ship!”, has become such a lasting part of American history that even small children know it. Lawrence County’s first court of common pleas was organized

March 4, 1817. The first election was April 7, 1817, with Joseph Davidson, Joel Bowen and David Spurlock elected county commissioners. Their first meeting was April 21, 1817, at Davidson’s home in Burlington. The county seat was later moved to Ironton, which was the heart of the county’s pig iron industry. Ironton has a connection to American sports. It was one of the first towns to have a professional sports team with the Ironton Tanks, which lasted from 1919 to 1930. The Tanks began the tradition of a Thanksgiving football game when they played their crosstown rivals, the Lombards. After the Tanks ended, many of the players migrated to the Portsmouth Spartans. The Spartans team was bought and moved to Detroit. They were renamed the Lions and kept up the Thanksgiving Day football tradition.

Ironton’s most illustrious citizens were also heavily involved in the Underground Railroad? Visitors get the answers to these and other questions as they make their way across cemetery grounds. The annual event, usually held in late September or early October, is a self-guided tour that draws thousands of people each year.
