An act of the General Assembly of Ohio (12 January 1810) directed that portions of Fairfield, Franklin, and Ross counties were to be partitioned off to create Pickaway County effective 1 March 1810, with Circleville named as county seat later that year (see History of Circleville). Portions of these counties were partitioned off to create Ross (1798), Fairfield (1800), and Franklin (1803) Counties.
