Significance: The Ohio and Erie Canal, linking Lake Erie at Cleveland with the Ohio River at Portsmouth, Ohio, was completed in 1832. The 308-mile inland waterway laid the foundation for Ohio's agricultural, industrial, commercial, and political growth. That section of canal between Akron and Cleveland was the first to open in 1827 there, the rapid drop in elevation -- nearly 400 feet in 38 miles -- required the construction of 44 locks.

As the temperance cause gained momentum during the 1820s many farmers abandoned their cider trees and transitioned to the cultivation of grafted winter apples in New England.

For example, the official, incorporated name of Interstate 80 is the “James W. Shocknessy Ohio Turnpike;” however, in day-to-day parlance and other media, it is simply known as the “Ohio Turnpike” or “I-80.” There are numerous examples of common names for nineteenth-century railroads, such as the “Nickel Plate Road” for the New York, Chicago & St. Louis Railroad

Being able to vote and have that vote counted are essential to maintaining and preserving our democracy. Voting stands as one of the most important rights and responsibilities of U.S. citizens. The news of recent changes to the U.S. Postal Service’s delivery process, coupled with the Administration’s decision to withhold funding, is alarming and should be of grave concern to us all, particularly with the General Election only months away. While the Postmaster General’s actions to reverse these policies earlier this week were a positive step, we must be vigilant and relentless when it comes to a fair election, especially during these challenging times. The spread of the Coronavirus has already created challenges and uncertainty around our local, state and national electoral processes. We cannot afford further disruption. At our Annual Meeting in June, the U.S. Conference of Mayors passed two critical resolutions supporting safe and accessible elections and voting by mail.

  • A Green Shrouded Miracle the Administrative History of Cuyahoga Valley National Recreation Area, Ohio
    A Green Shrouded Miracle: TOC Page 1 of 9 A Green Shrouded Miracle The Administrative History of Cuyahoga Valley National Recreation Area, Ohio Special History Study Chapter 1: A Brief History of the Cuyahoga Valley The Cuyahoga River Valley is biologically unique--a “botanical crossroads” situated in the transition zone between the Central Lowlands to the west and the Appalachian Plateau to the east. The valley serves as a natural dividing line between these eastern mountain and western prairie physiographic provinces. Statement for Management, 1977 The Cuyahoga River of northeast Ohio originates from two sources. The river’s east branch emanates from a spring near Montville while the west branch begins near Chardon, both in Geauga County, Ohio. The branches combine near Burton. The river proceeds south through the Allegheny Plateau to present-day Akron where it unites with the Little Cuyahoga River. It is at Akron that the aforementioned watershed plateau divides the land north and south: for while the Cuyahoga River turns to the north and empties into Lake Erie, the Tuscarawas River, five miles distant from Akron, flows south to the Ohio River, thence to the mighty Mississippi and the Gulf of Mexico. The valley between Akron and Cleveland through which the Cuyahoga River flows consists of Devonian and Mississippian shales and Mississippian and Pennsylvanian sandstones. When the glacier receded (13,000 B.C.), coarse debris, including sand, gravel and clay, remained in a half-mile-wide valley marked with unstable slopes from 200 to 400 feet high. Within this valley, the meandering Cuyahoga River, fed by Furnace Run, Yellow Creek, Dickerson Run, Chippewa Creek, Salt Run, Brandywine Creek, and Tinkers Creek tributaries, cut into the bedrock and varied from 35 to 85 feet wide and a depth of from a few inches to five feet.

  • Economic Development, Land Use, and the System of Cities in Northwest Ohio During the Nineteenth Century
    CREATING CONNECTIONS: ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, LAND USE, AND THE SYSTEM OF CITIES IN NORTHWEST OHIO DURING THE NINETEENTH CENTURY Matthew D. Bloom A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2009 Committee: Andrew M. Schocket, Advisor David Shoemaker Graduate Faculty Representative Edmund J. Danziger, Jr. Timothy F. Messer-Kruse © 2009 Matthew D. Bloom All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Andrew M. Schocket, Advisor Examining how economics, geography, and politics interacted in the expansion and economic changes within the United States, this dissertation investigated the symbiotic relationships and their qualities among the economic transformations of an urban area and its surrounding hinterland throughout the nineteenth century. Specifically, it investigated how the economic and population changes within Toledo, Ohio, molded the development of agricultural hinterlands and how the condition and settlement of the surrounding rural areas shaped the economic changes of Toledo. The quality of transportation connections among Toledo and other nascent towns, market interactions among residents, and the relationships between land quality and usage provided for symbiotic economic development of urban areas and rural hinterlands. The ability to use certain transportation infrastructures, the condition of land, and the availability of natural resources determined the type, quantity, and strength of market connections among people, which influenced the amount and forms of economic change for the area. Conclusions of this study were drawn from analyzing census records, newspaper advertisements and editorials, agricultural reports, and business records and literature. This research introduced a new paradigm of regional economic change named the “subregional model” which included a hub, local economic centers, small villages and farms, and links of various qualities.
