The first settlers arrived in Medina in 1855. On April 10, 1858, County Commissioners gave the City an official designation as “Hamburg Township.” Local residents preferred the name, “Medina,” after the Arabian holy City that was in the news that year. The area of Medina was platted as a city in 1879 but due to the complication of the borders between surrounding townships, they failed. However, as Medina continued to grow it eventually went from township status to village status, and finally was incorporated as a city in 1974. Now Medina is prosperous and growing with a population well over 6,000.
