'''Anna''' is a [[village (United States)#Ohio|village]] in [[Shelby County, Ohio|Shelby County]], [[Ohio]], United States. The population was 1,470 at the [[United States Census 2020|2020 census]].

==History==
===Pre-historical period===
The prehistoric [[Teays River]] ran through modern-day Anna about 2 million years ago. The Teays river deposited loose sediment on the Greenville fault line which created a major earthquake center.{{citation needed|date=February 2018}}

===Native American period===
According to the Native Americans, [[Tecumseh]] tried to start his alliances in what is now Anna. Most native Shawnee and Miami tribes refused the offer. He supposedly put a curse on the land. The curse stated that the land would be ever plagued with the trembling of the earth.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Earthquake|url = http://www.anna.k12.oh.us/About/History/earthquake.htm|website = www.anna.k12.oh.us|access-date = February 12, 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref>

===Settlement===
The first white settlement at Anna was made in the 1830s.<ref>{{cite book|last=Overman|first=William Daniel|title=Ohio Town Names|url=https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015015361465;view=1up;seq=20|year=1958|publisher=Atlantic Press|location=Akron, Ohio|page=4}}</ref>  Anna was [[plat]]ted in 1868, and named for Anna Thirkield. The village was incorporated in 1877.<ref>{{cite book|last=Hitchcock |first=Almon Baldwin Carrington|title=History of Shelby County, Ohio, and representative citizens|url=https://archive.org/stream/historyofshelbyc00hitc#page/340/mode/2up|year=1913|page=340}}</ref>

===1937 earthquakes===
On March 9, 1937, the largest recorded [[earthquake]] in Ohio occurred where the high school and middle school now stand. It was measured at 5.4 on the [[Richter magnitude scale]], while damage was at intensity VIII according to the [[Mercalli intensity scale]].<ref>{{citation|author=USGS|title=Historic Earthquakes|url=https://earthquake.usgs.gov/regional/states/events/1937_03_09.php|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060211010326/https://earthquake.usgs.gov/regional/states/events/1937_03_09.php|url-status=dead|archive-date=February 11, 2006|publisher=United States Geological Survey}}</ref> The shock was felt as far away as [[Chicago, Illinois|Chicago]], Illinois, and [[Toronto]], [[Ontario]]. The shaking followed a similar but somewhat weaker event that had happened a week earlier, on March 2. The Lutheran and Methodist Churches were heavily damaged; the Lutheran Church subsequently put metal braces in its attic to protect it from future earthquakes. The partially damaged school became a total loss for the town and had to be rebuilt. The town hall was so badly damaged that the upper story was condemned and has not been used since.

The Shelby County area has experienced at least 40 earthquakes since 1875.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dnr.state.oh.us/geosurvey/geo_fact/geo_f03/tabid/7860/Default.aspx|title=Ohio Department of Natural Resources|first=Ohio Department of Natural|last=Resources|website=www.dnr.state.oh.us}}</ref>
