Mercer

Among the communities of western Ohio, Mercer stands out for its setting amid the broad agricultural plain of Mercer County. The St. Marys River crosses the county on its northward course toward Indiana, while Grand Lake St. Marys lies to the south, a large inland lake created in the 1840s as a reservoir for the Miami and Erie Canal. Farming and small towns set the rhythm here, in a part of Ohio shaped by productive soils and straight rural roads. Mercer County was established in 1820 and takes its name from Revolutionary War general Hugh Mercer. Browse webcams around Mercer County and western Ohio to place Mercer within its wider setting.
