Madison County, Ohio
Madison County is a county located in the central portion of the U.S. state of Ohio. As of the 2020 census, the population was 43,824. Its county seat is London. The county is named for James Madison, President of the United States and was established on March 1, 1810. Madison County is part of the Columbus, OH Metropolitan Statistical Area.
In 1850, Madison County contained 24 churches and one newspaper office, had a total population of 10,015, and the county's public school system had 3838 pupils. With agriculture as the primary business, that same year the county produced 726,451 bushels of corn, 19,308 tons of hay, 120,696 pounds of wool, and 128,948 pounds of butter. In 1900, the county had a population of 20,590.
In November 1949, the remains of a Mastodon were discovered at Orleton Farms in Madison County, approximately 11.5 mi (18.5 km) northwest of West Jefferson. The discovery was made when workmen were locating a clogged drain on the farm with an iron rod. The farm reported the findings to the Ohio Historical Society, who then sent out a team to recover the bones. Later, in January of 1952, five different articles were released detailing the Orleton Mastodon and multiple experts' interpretations of the findings.
In 2008, Madison County, which spans Interstates 70 and 71 as they converge on Columbus, was cited by the Ohio State Highway Patrol as leading the state for the most speeding tickets 20-mph or more over the posted limit. Despite a population of around 42,000 in 2006, over 7,700 such tickets were issued in three years. Three of Madison County's 18 fatal crashes in 2006 and 2007 occurred on interstates. Madison County is also home to the Ohio Peace Officer Training Academy, the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification & Investigation, and several prison facilities.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 467 square miles (1,210 km2), of which 466 square miles (1,210 km2) is land and 0.8 square miles (2.1 km2) (0.2%) is water.

For every 100 females there were 120.0 males, and for every 100 females age 18 and over there were 125.5 males age 18 and over.
The racial makeup of the county was 86.8% White, 6.1% Black or African American, 0.2% American Indian and Alaska Native, 0.6% Asian, <0.1% Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander, 1.5% from some other race, and 4.8% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino residents of any race comprised 2.9% of the population.
33.8% of residents lived in urban areas, while 66.2% lived in rural areas.
