Akron, Ohio Highlights
Akron is called the City of Invention, but was formerly known as the Rubber Capital of the World. Before that, it was known as the original home of Quaker Oats, and as a pottery works. Built right on the southern edge of the Connecticut Western Reserve, Akron really grew by selling gravity. It happens to be right on the shortest possible line drawn between the Cuyahoga River (connecting to the Great Lakes' Lake Erie), and the Tuscarawas River (connecting to the Ohio River and, ultimately, to the Gulf of Mexico). The Ohio and Erie Canal (which can be seen downtown and throughout the Cuyahoga Valley National Park) connecting the two was inevitable, and is the primary reason Akron grew just where it did.*
