History of Northern District of Ohio
The United States
Marshals Office in Ohio was established on February 13, 1801, although
Ohio was not admitted as a state until March 01, 1803. The Northern District of Ohio was formed
on February 10, 1855, when Congress divided the Ohio District, created
in 1803, into two Districts: the Northern District and the Southern
District. Hiram V. Wilson was appointed first District Judge for the
Northern District with court held in Cleveland. The following is a
listing of Marshals for the Northern District of Ohio.
