Lima was founded in 1831. The [[Lima Army Tank Plant]], officially called the Joint Systems Manufacturing Center, built in 1941, is the sole producer of the [[M1 Abrams]]. It is the principal city of the [[Lima metropolitan area, Ohio|Lima metropolitan area]], which had 102,000 residents in 2020 and is included in the [[Lima–Van Wert–Wapakoneta, OH, combined statistical area|Lima–Van Wert–Wapakoneta combined statistical area]].

==History==
===Establishment===
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]]. By 1817, the United States had created the [[Ottawa River (Auglaize River)|Hog Creek]] Reservation for the local Shawnee, covering portions of what would become [[Allen County, Ohio|Allen]] and [[Auglaize County, Ohio|Auglaize counties]], and including part of present-day Lima.<ref name="Henry">

))</ref>

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. 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.((cn|date=February 2024)) The Ohio legislature mandated that a [[county seat]] be established and "Lima" was the result.

Lima was named after [[Lima]], Peru's capital city.<ref>((cite web |url= https://ohiohistorycentral.org/w/Lima,_Ohio|title= Lima, Ohio|author=<!--Not stated--> |date= |website= Ohio History Central|publisher= |access-date= 2022-09-22|quote=))</ref> The name 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]].<ref>[http://www.webcore.me/lima-ohios-origin-the-great-black-swamp-malaria-and-quinine/ Lima Ohio’s Origin, The Great Black Swamp, Malaria and Quinine, by John C. Monahan | Nov 12, 2013]</ref>

===19th century===
[[File:Allen County Courthouse, Lima, southeastern angle.jpg|thumb|[[Allen County Courthouse (Ohio)|Allen County Courthouse]]]]
((unsourced|section|date=February 2024))
Since 1831, Lima has been the center of government for Allen County, the first of its three courthouses erected in the city's first year. The foundations of city life followed in quick order. The first school appeared in 1832. Lima's first physician, Dr. William Cunningham, arrived in 1831. 1836 brought the first newspaper to Lima. Lima was officially organized as a city in 1842. Henry DeVilliers Williams was its first mayor. The first public school opened in 1850. In 1854, the first train appeared in Lima, a harbinger of later economic success.

Also in 1854, a [[cholera]] outbreak in [[Delphos, Ohio|Delphos]] (a town in Allen County northwest of Lima) spread throughout west central Ohio. Countywide problems caused by the contaminated water supply were not solved until 1886 when Lima started a [[municipal water system]]. Lima's role as a regional center for industry began early. The Lima Agricultural Works began operations in 1869. The company changed names and types of manufacturing through the years. In 1882, under the name Lima Machine Works, the industry built the first [[Shay locomotive|Shay-geared locomotive]].

Stimulated by the economic boom in nearby [[Findlay, Ohio|Findlay]], in 1885 Lima businessman Benjamin C. Faurot drilled for natural gas at his [[paper mill]]. On May 19, oil was discovered instead of gas. The oil well never realized enormous profits, but it triggered Lima's oil industry, bringing [[John D. Rockefeller]]'s [[Standard Oil]] to the city. Lima's oil field was, for about a decade, the largest in the US.

Economic development brought money for arts and entertainment. Benjamin Faurot's Opera House opened in 1882, a nationally renowned structure so impressive that New Yorkers used it as a model for their theaters. In 1907, Lima built its first movie theater.

===Early 20th century===
[[File:Lima, Ohio suffrage march in 1914.jpg|thumb|A 1914 [[women's suffrage]] march in Lima]]

In the early 20th century, Benjamin A. Gramm and his close friend Max Bernstein formed the [[Gramm-Bernstein Company]], which became a pioneer in the motor truck industry. During World War I, Gramm created the "[[Liberty truck]]", which was welcomed upon its arrival in Washington, D.C., by President [[Woodrow Wilson]]. Thousands were sent to Europe to help the Allied war effort.

After World War I, Allen County's population growth lagged the state and the nation. Galvin was an assistant superintendent at the Peru Steel Casting Co. of Peru, Ind. He then became acting manager at American Steel Foundries in Pittsburgh.<ref>((cite web |url=http://the419.com/john-e-galvin-limas-man-steel/ |title=John e. Galvin: Lima's own Man of Steel - the419 |access-date=February 5, 2015 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150205052248/http://the419.com/john-e-galvin-limas-man-steel/ |archive-date=February 5, 2015 )) John E. Galvin: Lima’s own Man of Steel</ref> In 1921, Lima voters approved a change in the structure of Lima city government. Voters now elected five [[commissioners]], with the commission chair serving as mayor. The charter sought to establish professional management, requiring the commissioners to hire a [[city manager]], who reported to the mayor. Lima proved itself to be very much in the Progressive tradition with these changes, after flirting with radicalism in 1912 when the voters elected a Socialist mayor.

The darker side of the progressive era revealed itself in the prominence of the [[Ku Klux Klan]] in the city. It was a center for the [[Black Legion (political movement)|Black Legion]], a notoriously violent subset of the Klan. On August 1, 1923, a KKK parade in Lima drew a crowd estimated at 100,000 people.((cn|date=February 2024))

Economically, the 1920s were a time of industrial expansion in Lima. In 1925, [[Lima Locomotive Works]], Inc. built the "Lima A-1", a 2-8-4 model that became the prototype for the modern steam locomotive. The Locomotive Works also created a new division, the Ohio Power Shovel Company. In 1927, local industrialist John E. Galvin helped found [[Superior Coach Company]]. It became the world's largest producer of school buses and funeral coaches within two decades. In 1930, eight railroad companies served Lima.((cn|date=February 2024))

Allen County's population grew significantly faster than the state during the [[Great Depression]]. In 1933, Lima again reorganized its government. The citizens adopted a "strong mayor" model to replace the city manager of the 1920s. Despite the hardships of the decade, Lima residents supported the construction of a hospital to serve the area. Lima Memorial Hospital, named in honor of World War I veterans, opened on [[Memorial Day]], 1933.((cn|date=February 2024))

The Lima area was not safe from the increased crime rate of the 1930s. In 1933, gangster [[John Dillinger]] was in the Allen County Jail, arrested for robbing the Citizens National Bank in nearby [[Bluffton, Ohio|Bluffton]]. Dillinger's cohorts broke him out of jail, killing Allen County Sheriff Jess Sarber in the process. The murder and jailbreak put Dillinger at the top of the [[FBI's ten most wanted list]]. His was not the only crime outfit to plague Lima during the decade. In 1936, the notorious Brady Gang robbed a local jewelry store twice.((cn|date=February 2024))

[[File:Lima public square, circa 1921.jpg|thumb|Public Square in downtown Lima ((circa|1921))]]
The Great Depression slowed the pace of industrial expansion. In 1930, a Lima directory listed 93 industrial employers with some 8,000 employees. By 1934, industrial employment was reduced by half. In 1935, [[Westinghouse Electric Corporation (1886)|Westinghouse]] located a Small Motor Division in Lima to build fractional horsepower electric motors. The Ohio Steel Foundry turned the corner and grew, eventually expanding its successes in its industry. The 1930s was a decade for organizing labor in Lima. By 1940, there were at least fifty labor unions representing local workers.((cn|date=February 2024))

Lima benefited from increased production during World War II and a growing population but suffered a significant economic decline at the end of the decade when industry retooled for peacetime production. In May 1941, based in the steel foundry, construction began on the [[Lima Army Tank Plant]] to manufacture centrifugally cast gun tubes. In November 1942, United Motors Services took over the operation of the plant to process vehicles under government contract. The plant prepared many vehicles for Europe, including the [[M5 light tank]] and the [[M26 Pershing|T-26 Pershing tank]]. At its peak during the war, the Lima Tank Depot (now the Joint Systems Manufacturing Center, operated by [[General Dynamics]]), employed over 5,000 people.((cn|date=February 2024))

===Late 20th century to present===
((unsourced|section|date=February 2024))
The area's expanding population in the 1940s and 1950s brought hospital and school expansion. St Rita's Hospital, founded in 1918, opened a seven-story addition in 1948. With voter support, school leadership built six new elementary schools and the new centralized [[Lima Senior High School]] during the 1950s. Lima's industrial production grew in the decade. During the [[Korean War]], the Lima Tank Depot resumed manufacturing, at a level expanded from World War II standards.

During the 1960s, Lima experienced both growth and community unrest. In 1962, a new Allen County Airport was built in [[Perry Township, Allen County, Ohio|Perry Township]]. With the passage of the city [[income tax]] in 1966, Lima constructed a new facility for the Lima Police Department. Also during the 1960s, The [[Ohio State University]] established a regional campus in Lima. Civil rights issues had rocked Lima in the 1950s, perhaps most prominently in the efforts to [[Desegregation in the United States|desegregate]] the city's only public swimming pool in Schoonover Park. Civil unrest continued in the 1960s and into the 1970s.

In January 1969, a [[crude oil]] line in south Lima ruptured, causing ((convert|77000|gal|litre)) of oil to escape into the city's sewer system. Explosions and fire erupted from sewers as 7,000 residents were evacuated. Governor [[Jim Rhodes]] ordered the [[Ohio National Guard]] into the area to maintain order. In August 1970, further conflict erupted when a black woman was killed by police as she tried to prevent the arrest of a juvenile. Several officers were wounded in the violence that followed. Mayor Christian P. Morris declared a [[state of emergency]] and the National Guard was again called in to aid local police.

During the 1970s and 1980s, several industries left Lima, part of the "[[Rust Belt]]" decline affecting all of Ohio. In April 1971, the last "Cincinnatian," of the [[Baltimore and Ohio Railroad]] stopped in Lima. The Cincinnatian was an iconic lightweight [[streamliner]] serving the B&O's Detroit line from Cincinnati. Lima had also been served by the [[Pennsylvania Railroad]]'s "Broadway Limited," a high-speed New York to Chicago service, the "Capital Limited" Chicago to Washington D.C. service, via Pittsburgh, the [[Nickel Plate Road]]'s "Blue Arrow," and "Blue Dart," which provided high-speed service to Buffalo, Cleveland and St. Louis, and the [[Erie Lackawanna]]'s "Lake Cities," which provided service to New York, Cleveland, and Chicago with direct service both ways. Many of these services were maintained by [[Amtrak]] until 1991, when the former Erie Lackawanna and Pennsylvania Railroad mainlines between New York and Chicago were downgraded.

In 1973, Lima's District [[Tuberculosis]] Center, which served five counties, closed its doors. [[Superior Coach Company]], once the nation's largest producer of buses, closed in 1981, as did Clark Equipment. Airfoil Textron closed in 1985, and Sundstrand (formerly Westinghouse) followed ten years later. By the mid-1990s, Lima had lost more than 8,000 jobs. Lima's population dropped from 52,000 in the 1970s to 45,000 in 1999. Lima's plight and its subsequent efforts to redefine itself were captured in the [[PBS]] documentary ''Lost in Middle America.''

==Geography==
[[File:Lima Ohio September 2018.jpg|thumb|Aerial photo of Lima, September 2018]]

According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the city has a total area of ((convert|13.80|sqmi|sqkm|2)), of which ((convert|13.57|sqmi|sqkm|2)) is land and ((convert|0.23|sqmi|sqkm|2)) is water.<ref name="Gazetteer files">((cite web|title=US Gazetteer files 2010 |url=https://www.census.gov/geo/www/gazetteer/files/Gaz_places_national.txt |publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]] |access-date=January 6, 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120125061959/http://www.census.gov/geo/www/gazetteer/files/Gaz_places_national.txt |archive-date=January 25, 2012 ))</ref>

The [[Ottawa River (Auglaize River)|Ottawa River]] flows through the city. Locals sometimes refer to the river as "Hawg Creek". This resembles a traditional local name used dating back to the Hog Creek [[Shawnee]] community that existed between Lima and present Ada, prior to the [[Indian Removal|Shawnee removal]] of 1831. This removal made possible the official founding of "Lima" as a formal town in that year.

===Climate===
Lima has a [[Humid continental climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]]: Dfa) where there are 4 distinct seasons.

===Oil===
[[File:Faurot Oil Well.jpg|thumb|Ohio [[historical marker]] outlining Lima's oil history with Faurot]]
With the discovery of oil in Lima in 1885, Ohio began what came to be called the "Oil Boom of Northwest Ohio". Discovery actually began in [[Findlay, Ohio|Findlay]], a city forty miles north of Lima. The discovery of natural gas deposits there in 1884 led to national marketing efforts advertising free gas, as Findlay's business leaders tried to "boom" the town. In 1885, Benjamin C. Faurot of Lima was one of hundreds of businessmen who visited Findlay to see the seemingly unlimited supply of natural gas burning day and night. Faurot owned the Lima Paper Mill. He spent $2,500 on energy consumption annually. Water for his operation was also a problem. So Faurot decided to drill in Lima – for gas or water. Faurot's first oil, found along the Ottawa River on May 19, 1885, was more accidental discovery than deliberate scientific experiment.

During the first week, the well produced more than ((convert|200|oilbbl|m3)) of oil. Faurot quickly organized local businessmen into a syndicate that would purchase oil leases from farm owners. The company was called the Trenton Rock Oil Company, and by 1886, had 250 wells from Lima to [[St. Marys, Ohio|St. Marys]], and west to [[Indiana]].

When the news broke that northwest Ohio had oil, [[Standard Oil]] of Cleveland decided to build a [[oil refinery|refinery]] in Lima. Unlike [[Pennsylvania]]'s oil, northwest Ohio's "sour crude" was high in [[sulfur]] content, smelling like rotten eggs, and customers shunned it. Lima's new Solar Refinery was charged with solving the sulfur problem. Until then, Standard bought and stored as much northwest Ohio crude as was possible to maintain their monopoly. It dropped the price of crude from more than sixty cents a barrel to forty cents in an attempt to discourage further production.

Oil drilling fever hit northwest Ohio and "boom towns" sprang up overnight. Additional crude glutted the market, and trying to slow production, Standard Oil lowered its price to fifteen cents a barrel. This decision had little effect on the large producers elsewhere, but the smaller Lima producers, whose oil wells could not keep up, found themselves severely hampered. Fourteen independent Lima producers formed a combine – the Ohio Oil Company. Eventually, it became [[Marathon Oil]], still located in Findlay.

Lima's Solar Refinery General Manager John Van Dyke and Herman Frasch, Standard's chemist, solved the distillation problem for sour crude by devising a method for removing the sulfur. The gamble that [[John D. Rockefeller]] took building pipelines and storage tanks for Ohio's sour crude paid off. By 1901, the excitement about Ohio oil slowed with the news of a [[Beaumont, Texas]], gusher producing ((convert|100000|oilbbl/d|m3/d)).

In 1911, the courts declared Standard Oil Trust a monopoly and broke it into several companies. Between 1887 and 1905, the Lima Oil Field was a world-class producer, yielding ((convert|300|Moilbbl|m3)). Lima was also a pipeline center. Within three years of the discovery of oil, a trunk line reached Chicago. Lima oil lit the buildings of the [[World's Columbian Exposition|1893 World's Fair]]. Production peaked in 1904, and then dropped off rapidly. By 1910, the field was regarded as virtually played out. Still, the Lima Refinery has survived, continuing to operate for more than 125 years under a succession of owners—Solar Refining Company (1886), a subsidiary of [[Standard Oil]] until the breakup in 1911, [[Standard Oil of Ohio]] (1931), [[BP]] (1987), Clark USA (1998), [[Premcor]] (2000), [[Valero Energy Corporation]] (2005), and most recently [[Husky Energy]] (2007).<ref>((cite web |title=Husky Energy to Buy Valero's Refinery in Ohio |url=http://www.resourceinvestor.com/2007/05/02/husky-energy-to-buy-valeros-refinery-in-ohio |date=May 2, 2007 |first=Dina |last=O'Meara |work=Hard Assets |agency=Canadian Press |access-date=March 24, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140324201911/http://www.resourceinvestor.com/2007/05/02/husky-energy-to-buy-valeros-refinery-in-ohio |archive-date=March 24, 2014 |url-status=dead ))</ref>

===Railroads===
For most of its history, smokestack industries and a [[Blue-collar worker|blue-collar]] [[work ethic]] defined Lima. Nothing played a bigger part in shaping the city's self-image than its connection to railroads and railroading – as a Midwestern rail hub and even more as home to the [[Lima Locomotive Works]], whose products for more than 70 years carried the city's name globally.

The first [[locomotive]] appeared in [[Allen County, Ohio|Allen County]] in 1854, brought in from [[Toledo, Ohio|Toledo]] as freight on the [[Miami and Erie Canal]]. Named the Lima, the engine was used on construction of the county's first railroad, the [[Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railway|Ohio and Indiana]]. East-west passenger service to Lima began in 1856, when the Ohio & Indiana consolidated with the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne & Chicago. North-south passenger service began in 1858 on the Dayton & Michigan Railroad. Machine shops for the Dayton & Michigan were built in Lima by 1860, and for the [[Lake Erie and Western Railroad]] by 1880. By the early years of the 20th century, the railroad shops employed 1,000 people in Lima.

In 1906, an average of 143 trains and 7,436 cars, carrying 223,080&nbsp;tons of freight, passed through Lima every 24 hours. In addition, 49 steam and 28 electric trains landed passengers in Lima daily. Lima service on the electric interurban Ohio Western Railway began in 1902 and Lima became the hub of an interurban network that reached [[Toledo, Ohio|Toledo]], [[Cleveland]] and [[Cincinnati]] as well as [[Fort Wayne, Indiana]]. In 1920, Lima was served by five steam railroads and Allen County by eight, in addition to five electric interurban lines.

For years, Lima was a crossroads for famous passenger trains including the [[Nickel Plate Road]]'s ''Clover Leaf'' ''Commercial Traveler'' and the [[Erie Railroad]]'s ''[[Erie Limited]]'' and ''[[Lake Cities (train)|Lake Cities]].'' The Erie Railroad had its own train station. The other train companies used the [[Lima station (Pennsylvania Railroad)|Pennsylvania station]]. [[Pennsylvania Railroad]] train such as the ''[[Admiral (train)|Admiral]],'' ''[[General (train)|General]],'' and ''[[Manhattan Limited]]'' made stops in Lima's Pennsylvania station.<ref>Pennsylvania Railroad timetable, August 1950, Tables 8, 9 http://streamlinermemories.info/PRR/PRR50TT.pdf</ref>

Railroads began to cut back passenger service to Lima during the [[Great Depression]]. Electric interurban service ceased in 1937. After a brief boom for railroads during World War II, passenger service declined sharply in the 1950s. The Nickel Plate Road ended scheduled passenger service to Lima in 1959. The formerly elite ''[[Broadway Limited]]'' began making stops in 1968 after the [[New York Central]] and the Pennsylvania railroad merged to form the [[Penn Central]]. The [[Erie-Lackawanna]] ran its last train into Lima in 1970 and the [[Baltimore & Ohio]] and the [[Penn Central]] their last in 1971. Freight still moves over most of the historic rail routes in and out of the city, but the last passenger train to stop in Lima was the ''Broadway Limited'', then operated by [[Amtrak]], on November 11, 1990.

Currently, there are only a handful of railroads that serve Lima. The Chicago, Fort Wayne, and Eastern and the Indiana and Ohio railroad are owned by [[Genesee & Wyoming]] and are in the north and east parts of town. [[CSX Transportation]] runs through town frequently and the [[Norfolk Southern Railway]] has one train each day to Lima. The [[R.J. Corman]] Railroad/Western Ohio Line runs southwest from town on former [[Erie-Lackawanna]] trackage.

===Lima Locomotive Works===
((Main|Lima Locomotive Works))
The [[Lima Locomotive Works]] – "the Loco," as it was commonly called in Lima – had its beginnings in 1869 when John Carnes and four partners bought a machine shop that was called the Lima Agricultural Works. The company initially manufactured and repaired agricultural equipment, then moved into the production of steam power equipment and [[sawmill]] machinery. The shop designed its first narrow-gauge steam locomotive in 1878. The same year, the shop first worked on a geared locomotive designed by [[Michigan]] lumberman [[Ephraim Shay]]. The [[Shay locomotive]] was built for steep grades, heavy loads and tight turns. In 1881, Shay granted the Lima works an exclusive license to manufacture his locomotives. By 1882, locomotives were the company's main product. In time, the Lima Locomotive Works – a name formally adopted in 1916 – would produce 2,761 Shay locomotives, which were sent to 48 states and 24 foreign countries. As of 2005, some were in use 100 years after they were shipped.

By 1910, the company was moving aggressively into direct-drive locomotives for general railroad use. A new "super power" design, introduced in 1925, enabled Lima to capture 20% of the national market for locomotives. The "super power" locomotive was created by mechanical engineer William E. Woodard. Designed to make more efficient use of [[steam]] at high speed, it became, in the words of railroad historian Eric Hirsimaki, "one of the most influential locomotives in the history of steam power". Later years saw the introduction of the [[Chesapeake and Ohio Railway]] 2-6-6-6, one of the largest locomotives ever built, and the glamorous [[Southern Pacific Railroad|Southern Pacific]] "Daylights," designed to complement the Pacific Coast scenery.

The locomotive works dabbled in other product lines. It produced railroad cars in the early years and acquired the Ohio Power Shovel Company in 1928. During World War II, the plant produced 1,655 [[Sherman tank]]s. Employment grew from 150 in the 1890s to 1,100 in 1912 and 2,000 in 1915, peaking at 4,300 in 1944. Over the course of its history, the Locomotive Works was a microcosm of the community, a place where each successive wave of newcomers took its place in turn. First the Germans and Italians, later African-Americans and ultimately women joining the work force during World War II. Labor organizing efforts were under way at the plant at least by the 1890s.

Post-war mergers attempting to keep the plant operating created the Lima-Hamilton Corporation in 1947 and later [[Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton]] in 1950. The last [[steam locomotive]] built at the plant, Nickel Plate No. 779, was delivered May 13, 1949. It is now on display in Lima's Lincoln Park. The final diesel locomotive, built by Lima-Hamilton, was delivered in 1951. After the end of locomotive production, the plant continued to produce cranes and road building equipment. The plant was sold to Clark Equipment in 1971. Clark employed 1,500 as late as 1974, but the plant closed permanently in 1981. As of 2006, the Lima Locomotive Works plant has been razed.

[[University of Northwestern Ohio#Athletics|UNOH]] and [[Ohio State University, Lima Campus#Varsity and intramural sports|OSU Lima]] athletics, as well as various high school sports programs. Lima is also home to the collegiate summer baseball team, the [[Lima Locos]]. Started in 2023, Lima is the home of the Ohio Extreme, a professional indoor soccer team that plays in the [[Major League Indoor Soccer (2022–present)|MLIS]].

==Government==
Locally, Lima had the same mayor, David J. Berger [[Democratic Party (United States)|(D)]], from December 1989 to November 2021. Upon his retirement in November 2021, his chief of staff, Sharetta Smith, was sworn in as mayor after winning her election earlier in the month.<ref>[http://limaohio.com/news/223341/mayor-berger-files-for-re-election-magnus-seeks-first-ward-seat Mayor Berger files for re-election, Magnus seeks First Ward seat]</ref>  She is the first female and first Black mayor of Lima.
On the federal level, Lima is located in [[Ohio's 4th congressional district]], which is represented by [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]] [[Jim Jordan]].

==Education==
Colleges in Lima include the private [[University of Northwestern Ohio]], the public regional campus [[Ohio State University at Lima]], and [[James A. Rhodes State College]].

Secondary schools in Lima include [[Lima Senior High School]], Apollo Career Center, [[Lima Central Catholic High School]], Lima Christian Academy, and [[Temple Christian School (Lima, Ohio)|Temple Christian School]].

==Media==

===Healthcare===
((more citations needed section|date=June 2013))
The first doctor in Allen County, Samuel Jacob Lewis, was assigned to duty at Fort Amanda in 1812.

Lima has been a regional medical center since its earliest days. Currently, the city's two hospitals serve a 10-county area of northwest and west central Ohio. [[St. Rita's Medical Center]], a level 2 trauma center, with nearly 4,000 employees as of June 2006, is Allen County's largest employer while [[Lima Memorial Health System]] ranks third. In 2005, St. Rita's embarked on a $130&nbsp;million expansion expected to create up to 500 more jobs, this new addition is known as "The Medical Center of the Future". In 2018 St. Rita's name was changed to Mercy Health St. Rita's Medical Center, after the company Mercy Health that had owned St. Rita's for a while now. This name change brought new signs and uniforms to the hospital. Almost immediately after the name change, Mercy Health was acquired by another company by the name of Bon Secours. This merge has brought no changes to the hospital though.

The Roman Catholic Church [[Sisters of Mercy]] opened St. Rita's in December 1918, in the midst of a national (and global) [[1918 influenza epidemic|influenza epidemic]]. The hospital saw major expansions 1945 and 1967. The hospital has also created satellite facilities in the surrounding towns of [[Ottawa, Ohio|Ottawa]], [[Delphos, Ohio|Delphos]] and [[Wapakoneta, Ohio|Wapakoneta]]. SRMC also houses a separate hospital with the walls of the main facility. This "interior" facility, "Triumph", was implemented to serve poverty-level citizens who are unable to afford continuing care otherwise. In July 2008, St. Rita's Medical Center purchased Lima Allen County Paramedics.<ref>((cite web |url=http://limaohio.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?avis=LI&date=20100505&category=news&lopenr=305059980&Ref=AR |title=Lima Allen County Paramedics opens new home |date=August 23, 2013 |work=LimaOhio.com |access-date=March 24, 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140324214353/http://limaohio.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?avis=LI&date=20100505&category=news&lopenr=305059980&Ref=AR |archive-date=March 24, 2014))</ref>

Lima Memorial Health System, formerly Lima Memorial Hospital, a level 2 trauma center, can trace its roots to 1899, when it began as Lima City Hospital. Formed by the Pastors Union of Lima, the 13-bed facility was the first community hospital in northwest Ohio. During the [[Great Depression]], the city of Lima helped to finance a larger hospital, which opened on [[Memorial Day]] 1933 on the city's east side. The region's first open-heart surgery was performed at Lima Memorial on April 22, 1997. In 1999, LMHS entered into a joint venture with Blanchard Valley Health Association ("BVHA") and [[ProMedica Health System]].<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.limamemorial.org/AVP/Web_pages/?id=2|title=Lima Memorial Hospital history|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061010043943/http://www.limamemorial.org/AVP/Web_pages/?id=2|archive-date=October 10, 2006))</ref>

For decades, Lima also had two other hospitals with different missions. The Ottawa Valley Hospital, which opened in 1909 as the District [[Tuberculosis]] Hospital, was one of the first in the state dedicated to the treatment of tubercular patients. The hospital treated patients from seven to 90 years old, at a time when tuberculosis was nearly always fatal. The average stay was three to five years. As treatment improved, the hospital closed, though the building was used until 1973.((Citation needed|date=November 2019))

The facility originally known as the Lima State Hospital for the Criminally Insane was situated on ((convert|628|acre|km2)) three miles (5&nbsp;km) north of downtown Lima. The hospital was constructed between 1908 and 1915. Built at a cost of $2.1&nbsp;million, it was the largest poured-concrete structure in the country until supplanted by the Pentagon.((Citation needed|date=November 2019)) Patients sometimes staged dramatic protests against the conditions of their confinement, and frequently escaped (more than 300 escapes by 1978). Conditions improved significantly after 1974 as a result of a class-action lawsuit filed on behalf of the patients. In a landmark ruling, US District Judge Nicholas J. Walinski spelled out detailed requirements for assuring each patient's rights to "dignity, privacy and human care". In its last years, the state hospital was used for the filming of a made-for-television movie about the [[Attica Prison riots]] in New York.((Citation needed|date=November 2019)) Starting in 1982, Lima State Hospital became a medium-security prison, the Lima Correctional Institution. The prison closed in 2004, though a smaller prison on the site, the Allen Correctional Institution, remains.
