Lucas is a village in southeastern Richland County, Ohio, United States.

[5] After purchasing a mass quantity of land from the state, Tucker hired Mr.

David's brother, John, was placed in charge as the head attorney authored to sell land to incoming settlers and pioneers in 1829.

[6] The auction was advertised in the local handbill "The Mansfield Shield and Banner", in which the land was described as "as good as a wheat growing country as the state can have."

The town officially built and commissioned a postal office later that year.

[7] By 1834, the Lucas area was full of houses and shops, becoming a major rural center for Richland County, mostly due to being the first town in the county to receive federal aid in its building because the land where Lucas presided was a campsite of General John Brooks as he marched north from Mansfield during the War of 1812, thus qualifying it as a historical site at the time.

Lucas lies southeast of Mansfield, a few miles from Interstate 71 on State Route 39.

Lucas has many hills and forests and is part of the Mohican Valley area, along with Loudonville, Perrysville, Butler and Bellville.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 0.69 square miles (1.79 km2), all land.
