For the next 150 years, Auglaize County residents primarily sustained themselves through agriculture, although several additional industries existed in the city by the late nineteenth century. Wapakoneta’s 2,765 residents also claimed to produce more butter churns than any other single location in the United States during this same time period. The Native Americans worked to prove that they had indeed adopted the life of the white settlers. In 2000, more than nine thousand people called Wapakoneta home. During the 1880s, an oil and natural gas drilling industry arose.
