of the
city
of
Akron
appears
in "
Historical
Collections
of
Ohio
"
published
by
Henry
Howe
in
1907
.
Akron
was
originally
laid
out
in
1825
and in
1841
became
the
seat
of
Summit
County
. The
name
came
from a
Greek
word
meaning
"an
elevation
" or "
point.
"
Originally
, the
community
was
located
slightly
south
of its
present
location
, in
modern-day
South
Akron
.
Many
of the
town's
earliest
residents
were
Irish
migrants
employed
to
build
the
nearby
Ohio
and
Erie
Canal
.
After
1827
,
when
the
canal
was
completed
between
Akron
and
Cleveland
, the
community's
business
interests
really
began
to
prosper
. Its
location
along
the
canal
meant
that
many
farmers
brought
their
crops
to
Akron
to be
milled
and then
transported
to
other
markets
, and
manufacturing
interests
such
as
mills
,
furnaces
, and
textiles
also
emerged
.
