Jacob Sodowski

Jacob Sodowski

Jacob Sodowski was a Polish-American fur trader after whom, according to one theory, Sandusky, Ohio was named.

In 1770 Jacob Sodowski settled in New York, and his sons were among the first white men to penetrate as far as Kentucky. It is said that Sandusky, Ohio, was named after him. [American Pioneer, I, 119; II, 325, cited by CathEncy|wstitle=Poles in the United States]
