🌲$8.2 Million Investment in western Pike County’s Appalachian Foothills🌲

On Tuesday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Forest Service announced an investment of more than $265 million to conserve nearly 335,000 acres of ecologically and economically significant forestlands across the nation, in partnership with states across the country.

That announcement included an “$8.2 million investment for the Sunfish Creek Project which will acquire 3,125 acres of forestland, expanding the adjacent Pike State Forest in Ohio’s scenic Appalachian hills. The project will help expand a national and statewide hiking trail system, support the critical forest industry, and protect waterways and domestic water supply. These increased benefits are expected to produce upward of $2 million annually for Pike County.”

We’re grateful to the USDA and our state partners, ODNR, who are investing in Pike County’s future. This project reinforces what we’ve always known – that Pike County’s Appalachian foothills are more than just a landscape; they’re an incredible asset and a treasure to protect and enjoy. We look forward to even more ways to explore and celebrate the natural beauty of our home!

Did you know that in 1860, the mean center of the United States population was in Pike County? That year, the center of the U.S. population moved a record 80 miles westward from Wirt County, WV—right here to Pike County! As the U.S. expanded to the Pacific, with western states like California growing throughout the 1850’s, our county became the geographical heart of the nation.

To highlight this unique piece of history, we’re sharing a 360-drone video near the actual location. Can you pinpoint this spot?

If you said near State Route 32 and Gravel Washer Rd, you’d be correct! The mean center of the US population in 1860 was located just off of Gravel Washer Rd, about 2 miles southeast of Beaver, OH.

Ohio really is “The Heart of It All”—and in 1860, Pike County was the heart of America!
