The name "Lima" was reputedly chosen in a nod to the Peruvian capital which, during the 1800s, was a major source of quinine, an anti- malaria drug for which there had been a demand in the region, an area known as the Great Black Swamp.

The Ohio legislature mandated that a county seat be established and "Lima" was the result. In 1831, the Shawnee were forced to surrender all their land in the area to the United States and relocated to Kansas, opening all of Allen County to settlement. The creation of the Shawnee reservation freed other lands in the area for settlement, and in February 1820, the Ohio legislature formally established Allen County. By 1817, the United States had created the Hog Creek Reservation for the local Shawnee, covering portions of what would become Allen and Auglaize counties, and including part of present-day Lima. In the years after the American Revolution, the Shawnee were the most prominent residents of west central Ohio, growing in numbers and permanency after the 1794 Treaty of Greenville.

Lima was named after Lima, Peru's capital city. ( June 2013) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message) Unsourced material may be challenged and removed.
