Statehood was granted in 1816. The Federal Census of 1820 found today's Rush County a part of the huge, unorganized and sparsely populated area called Delaware County. Rush County, as it is known today, was organized 31 December 1821 from a portion of that unorganized territory. It was named for Dr. Benjamin Rush of Philadelphia.
