History

Goode, who insisted on the Spanish pronunciation “Lee-mah” after the Lima city of Peru, but the local vernacular — "Lye-mah" — prevailed. Lima is a city in the US state of Ohio and the county seat of Allen County, Ohio County. Goode proposed this name because an inoculant for malaria, which was prevalent in the area during its establishment, was manufactured there. By 1817, the United States had created the Hog Creek Reservation for the local Shawnee, covering portions of what would become Allen County, Ohio and Auglaize County, Ohio counties, and including part of present-day Lima. “Lima” was the result.
