Portions of Fairfield, Washington and Muskingum Counties were taken to create Perry County. As of the 2000 census, the population was 34,078. Its county seat is New Lexington, and it is named for Oliver Hazard Perry, a hero of the War of 1812. One of the poorest counties in the state, this is where the lawsuit challenging Ohio's school funding system, DeRolph v. State, began.
