Etymology

The accepted etymology is that the name "Sandusky" is derived from the Wyandot word saundustee, meaning "water" or andusti, "cold water" In his 1734 history of New France, Charlevoix transliterated the word as "Chinouski" Sandusky Bay, formed at the mouth of the Sandusky River, is identified as "Lac (Lake) Sandouské" on a 1718 map by Guillaume DeLisle. The name "L.(Lac) Sandoski" appears on a1733 map. One genealogical line of his descendants is actually called Sandusky. Another, less accepted etymologic version claims that the city's name goes back to an American trader and frontiersman named Anthony Sadowski, a neighbor of the Boone family. He was employed by the governor of then British Pennsylvania as a trader and interpreter, speaking several Indian languages, especially Iroquois. He moved to the Pennsylvania frontier in January 1712 and could easily have made it to Lake Erie by 1718 to establish a trading post. One family member of his is still called "Sadowski" by the descendants of that trader. The word "sandusky" was used to refer to a village on the shores of Upper Sandusky, upriver from the city of Amity, Ohio, in the 19th century. Sandusky was also called Lac Ondaské, in another French transliteration of the Wy andot.

History

Sandusky was a center of trading and fortifications since the 18th century. The city was built on land formerly occupied by a Native American man named Ogontz, and therefore the city is said to have been built on "Ogontz' place" Sandusky's rise in the 19th century was heavily influenced by its location at the head of Sandusky Bay. Lumber transport, stone quarrying and, in the early 20th century, manufacturing have all been key in the city's history. The mild climate caused by its proximity to Lake Erie also caused it to become the center of Ohio's wine industry. Sandusky was the site of groundbreaking for the Mad River and Lake Erie Railroad, which brought change to the town. In 1846 Sandusky had a population of approximately 3,000 people and was also a main focus of lake traffic. It was also the location of the Ohio State Sailor's and Soldiers' Soldier's Home. By 1880 there were 20 churches and three newspapers in the community, with at least 10 employees. The town then consisted of many stores, two printing offices, two machine shops, two banks, six churches, one high school, and several iron furnaces. The coal docks located west of downtown still use a portion of the original MR&LE right-of-way. The tracks that ran through downtown Sandusky have since been removed. Most of the downtown industrial area is also being redeveloped for other purposes, including mainly marina dockage. Charles Dickens visited the city in 1842 and briefly wrote of it in his subsequent travelogue, American Notes.
