Judge Mayor 3 History The city of Barberton has a history that is unique among Ohio cities. It was established in 1891, at the height of the state's industrial development, as a planned industrial community. Barberton became known as the “Magic City” because of its rapid population growth during the formative industrial years. Situated within easy reach of canal, river and railroad, the new town was located just seven miles southwest of Akron. Utilizing a natural glacial lake as its focal point, Barberton's founders laid out streets and lots for an attractive community of homes, churches, schools, and commercial buildings, and established many of the industries required to sustain it. A downtown developed, homes were constructed for businessmen and factory workers, churches and schools were built, and the city grew into an important industrial center of northeastern Ohio. 2016 marks 125 years for our great city. 4 www.cityoarberton.com Top Employers Babcock & Wilcox Co. 20 S Van Buren Avenue | Barberton, Ohio 44203 | (330) 753.4511 | www.babcock.com Babcock & Wilcox is a global leader in energy and environmental technologies and services for the power and industrial markets, with operations, subsidiaries and joint ventures worldwide.

    NORTHEAST OHIO FOUR COUNTY REGIONAL PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATION Upper Tuscarawas River Watershed Action Plan Final Report July 1999 The preparation of this report was financed through the Summit Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD). The funding originated from the State’s Canal Lakes Watershed Management Program, which is part of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Capital Improvements Budget. This report is submitted in fulfillment of Milestone 5, from NEFCO's Scope of Work, for the Upper Tuscarawas River Watershed Action Plan. The scope calls for NEFCO to update critical watershed components including land use, critical resources, and riparian corridor habitat. It also calls for NEFCO to develop a strategic action plan to address threats to water quality and provide recommendations which are most appropriate for the watershed.

  • Sediment Dispersal Processes and Anthropogenic Impacts at Rex Lake, Summit County, Ohio
    SEDIMENT DISPERSAL PROCESSES AND ANTHROPOGENIC IMPACTS AT REX LAKE, SUMMIT COUNTY, OHIO A Thesis Presented to The Graduate Faculty of The University of Akron In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science Stephanie B. Mitchell December, 2015 SEDIMENT DISPERSAL PROCESSES AND ANTHROPOGENIC IMPACTS AT REX LAKE, SUMMIT COUNTY, OHIO Stephanie B. Mitchell Thesis Approved: Accepted: ______________________________ ______________________________ Advisor Dean of the College Dr. John A. Peck Dr. Chand Midha ______________________________ ______________________________ Faculty Reader Interim Dean of the Graduate School Dr. James McManus Dr. Chand Midha ______________________________ ______________________________ Faculty Reader Date Dr. David Steer ______________________________ Department Chair Dr. James McManus ii ABSTRACT The sediment in Rex Lake, a kettle lake in Northeast Ohio, preserves a record of modern sedimentation processes and past anthropogenic impacts to the lake and its watershed. Rex Lake is connected to a series of kettle lakes and human-made reservoirs that forms the Portage Lakes System, a popular recreational area. Rex Lake is affected by sediment focusing processes and has a wave base of 2 m. Sands and gravels having high dry bulk density and low organic content are present in water less than 2 m deep. Organic mud and calcareous mud are present in water depths greater than 2 m. The acoustic properties of the lakefloor were used to remotely determine differences between sands/gravels and muds. Because of differences in matrix lithology and pore geometry of the organic muds and calcareous muds, this study shows that caution must be exercised when using acoustics to remotely sense lakefloor sediment grain size. The upper 4 m of mud, from the middle of the lake, was cored and measured for physical properties, sedimentology and trace metal content.

By Samuel Lewis Stock#: 16529 Map Maker: Lewis Date: 1796 Place: Philadelphia Color: Uncolored Condition: VG Size: 25 x 19 inches Price: SOLD Description: Important separately issued map of the old Northwest Territory, published shortly after the Treaty of Greenville, illustrating the region which would become the Old Northwest Territory and Ohio. The Treaty of Greenville was signed at Fort Greenville (Greenville, Ohio), on August 2, 1795, between a coalition of Native Americans known as the Western Confederacy and the United States following the Native American loss at the Battle of Fallen Timber. This ended the so-called Northwest Indian War. The United States delegation was represented by General "Mad Anthony" Wayne, who led the victory at Fallen Timbers. In exchange for goods to the value of $20,000 (such as blankets, utensils, and domestic animals), the Native Americans turned over to the United States significant lands in the midwest, including large parts of modern-day Ohio, the future site of downtown Chicago, the Fort Detroit area, Maumee Ohio Area, and the Lower Sandusky Ohio Area. The treaty established what became known as the "Greenville Treaty Line," which was for several years a boundary between Native American territory and lands open to white settlers. In reality, the treaty line was frequently disregarded by settlers as they continued to encroach on native lands guaranteed by the treaty.
