Akron history
Canal town. Industrial city. Local story.
Akron developed along the Little Cuyahoga River and the Ohio & Erie Canal. When the canal reached Akron in 1827, it connected local makers and merchants with wider markets and helped shape a growing industrial center.
Rubber Industry Heritage
The city that kept the world rolling.
By 1898, Akron was already home to rubber makers when F. A. Seiberling and his brother began Goodyear in former Market Street factories. The company grew with the automobile age and helped establish Akron’s lasting identity as the Rubber Capital of the World.
Akron’s local story reaches beyond the factory floor through work, research, neighborhoods, labor, aviation, health care, and civic life. The rubber era remains visible in places such as the Goodyear Airdock, Stan Hywet, and the Akron History Center’s exhibits on the people who built the city.
Explore the Goodyear history archive, the Summit County Historical Society, and the Akron History Center for more.
