Grynwell County

Grynwell County, Daawinaki, is the principal setting for the Wacovia sub-canon of As The Orb Turns. Its county seat and largest city is Wacovia, and other towns include Westminster and Tinsmelt. It is bordered to the east by Kurtz County and to the west, south, and north by unnamed counties.

It has been mentioned by name in numerous stories.

Overview
Grynwell County has likely existed since the mid-19th century. In the 1940s and 1950s, following the unification, the county experienced a period of modernization and industrialization, which turned places like Wacovia and Tinsmelt from quiet farming villages to booming industrial towns.

However, after the bottom fell out of industry at the end of the 1970s, Grynwell County became a quiet, lazy place once more.

In 1990, the county had a population somewhere around 80,000; roughly average for sparsely populated Orb.

The topography of Grynwell consists of hills, rivers, and mixed forests, typical of Manitoulin Island. Indeed, Susie Platzner's family lives atop a large hill, giving them an ample view of Wacovia below.
