Zanesville is a historic city located in Muskingum County, Ohio, situated at the confluence of the Muskingum and Licking Rivers. Founded in 1797, the city was named after Ebenezer Zane, who created Zane's Trace, an important early road through the Northwest Territory.
The city gained prominence in the 19th century as a significant center for art pottery production, earning it the nickname "Clay City." Zanesville's artistic heritage is particularly noted for its contribution to the American Art Pottery movement, with several renowned potteries operating in the area during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The city was also briefly the second capital of Ohio from 1810 to 1812.
Today, Zanesville maintains its cultural significance through various museums and historic sites that preserve its rich pottery-making tradition and local history. The city is also known for its unique Y-Bridge, a three-way bridge that has become a symbol of the community and represents an interesting piece of architectural history.
