Of its 399 square miles, 395 are<br \/>\nland and 4.3 are water, about 1.1 percent, mostly held in Atwood Lake and Leesville Lake, two<br \/>\nflood-control reservoirs built by the Army Corps of Engineers on Indian Fork and the McGuire<br \/>\nCreek watershed. Atwood Lake, shared with neighboring Tuscarawas County, is the larger of the<br \/>\ntwo and anchors a state park on its Carroll County shore; Leesville Lake, near the village of the<br \/>\nsame name, is the smaller of the pair.<\/p>\n<p>Columbiana County lies to the northeast, Jefferson County to the southeast, Harrison County to<br \/>\nthe south, Tuscarawas County to the southwest, and Stark County to the northwest. <a\nhref=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/columbiana-county\/\">Columbiana County<\/a>, <a\nhref=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/jefferson-county-ohio\/\">Jefferson County<\/a>, <a\nhref=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/harrison-county-ohio\/\">Harrison County<\/a>, <a\nhref=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/tuscarawas-county\/\">Tuscarawas County<\/a> and <a\nhref=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/stark-county-ohio\/\">Stark County<\/a> all border Carroll<br \/>\ndirectly.<\/p>\n<h2>Demographics<\/h2>\n<p>Carroll County had a population of 26,721 at the 2020 census, and the latest estimate puts the<br \/>\ncounty near 26,475 residents, a slight decline typical of Ohio&#8217;s rural Appalachian<br \/>\ncounties. Minerva and Carrollton are the two largest communities by name, though most of<br \/>\nMinerva&#8217;s residents live across the line in Stark County. Ohio&#8217;s statewide median<br \/>\nhousehold income was $67,769 (2023 ACS). Population density in Carroll County works out to<br \/>\nroughly 67 people per square mile of land, among the lowest in northeastern Ohio.<\/p>\n<h2>Economy &amp; Local Life<\/h2>\n<p>Oil and natural gas production from the Utica Shale formation, developed heavily since the<br \/>\nearly 2010s, added royalty income and drilling-related jobs across the county&#8217;s rural<br \/>\ntownships. Carroll County-Tolson Airport, just outside Carrollton, serves general aviation.<br \/>\nAtwood Lake Park draws boaters and campers from across the region each summer, and the county<br \/>\nfairgrounds in Carrollton host the Carroll County Fair every July, the county&#8217;s biggest<br \/>\nannual event.<\/p>\n<h2>History<\/h2>\n<p>The Ohio legislature formed Carroll County on 1 January 1833, assembling it from parts of<br \/>\nColumbiana, Harrison, Jefferson, Stark and Tuscarawas counties. It was named for Charles Carroll<br \/>\nof Carrollton, the last surviving signer of the Declaration of Independence, who died the same<br \/>\nyear the county was organized. The county seat, first platted as Centreville in 1815, was<br \/>\nrenamed Carrollton in 1834 to match the county.<\/p>\n<p>Several members of the Fighting McCooks, an Ohio family that produced 15 Union officers during<br \/>\nthe Civil War, lived in Carrollton in the 19th century. The Sandy and Beaver Canal, a short-lived<br \/>\n1830s-40s project meant to link the Ohio River to Lake Erie, ran through the county&#8217;s<br \/>\nnorthern townships before railroads made it obsolete.<\/p>\n<h2>Getting There<\/h2>\n<p>No interstate highway crosses Carroll County. State Routes 9, 39, 43, 164, 171, 183, 212, 332,<br \/>\n524 and 542 carry most of the county&#8217;s traffic, with SR 39 and SR 43 meeting at<br \/>\nCarrollton.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Canton &mdash; about 25 miles northwest<\/li>\n<li>New Philadelphia &mdash; about 20 miles southwest<\/li>\n<li>Steubenville &mdash; about 30 miles southeast<\/li>\n<li>East Liverpool &mdash; about 25 miles northeast<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Akron-Canton Airport, roughly 35 miles northwest of Carrollton, is the nearest major commercial<br \/>\nairport.
