Village Of Jefferson
History
Jefferson has been the heart of and the county seat of Ashtabula County since 1807. Founded in 1803 by Post Master General Gideon Granger, the village has several historic buildings, including a beautiful courthouse built in 1836 and the Giddings Law Office, places where Congressman Joshua Giddings and Senator Benjamin Wade, leaders in the anti-slavery movement, once practiced law. Winter, spring, summer or fall, there is always something going on in Jefferson. Fall brings the harvest of grapes at the local wineries and the Covered Bridge Festival.
Jefferson is the Ashtabula County seat. Ashtabula County is the largest county in the state of Ohio, while being the least populated.
The Village of Jefferson is a family oriented community with an all American, hometown environment.
The Village is committed to education, planned development and economic growth.We put emphasis on sidewalks, streets and infrastructure; enforcing ordinances intended to keep the Village clean, orderly and appealing. The tree-lined streets, started by the founders, which are maintained by the Village Street Department, compliment the many beautiful century homes and are an invitation for walkers.
