East Liverpool, OH is located in Columbiana County on the banks of the Ohio and borders both Pennsylvania and West Virginia. It was originally named St. Clair, but then changed to Fawcettown, after its founder Thomas Fawcett. The name was officially changed to Liverpool in 1830 when a post office was established and then amended to East Liverpool in 1834 to avoid confusion with a town of the same name in Medina County.
East Liverpool was often called “Crockery City” as over 200 potteries were based in the area. The yellow clay found in the ground produced what many feel was the best pottery ever made in the U.S. The Homer Laughlin China Co. was the world’s largest pottery manufacturer in the early 20th century.
