Welcome to Athens County, Ohio!
We offer access to a number of Athens County government agencies--an alternative to phone calls, waiting in lines and trips to our offices. We hope it will provide greater levels of access, convenience, and service.
Athens County is named for Athens, Greece and was established in 1805. The U.S. Census Bureau reports the county population to be 61,860.
 Athens County is located in the heart of the Hocking Hills of Southeast Ohio, in the Appalachian region of the state. Home to Ohio University and Hocking College, the international influence of these schools, together with our Appalachian heritage create a diverse and rich community. Added to the mix is the scenic natural beauty of the region, as well as the variety of historical and recreational opportunities. Athens County is a wonderful place to live or to visit! Athens Co.
