Ohio became a state in 1803, and it took 48 years to establish all 88 counties. On February 26, 1816, the Ohio General Assembly officially authorized boards of county commissioners to obtain farms that included housing for paupers (or the poor), and by 1874, each county in Ohio had what was originally called the poor farm. The former Wood County Infirmary story serves as an example of how superintendents and matrons managed people in need before modern programs helped designate specialized care. Collaboration with all 88 counties across the state of Ohio shows a unified story of public charity and highlights the importance of historic preservation. As early as 1937, Ohio counties began tearing down infirmaries, leaving behind few photographic records and institutional documentation. 23.99 USD https://www.ohregionalities.com/product/ohio-s-infirmary-buildings https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/366345184/Ohio+infirmary+buildings.jpg 101235187 new in stock 101211913 Against the Grain: Modernism in the Midwest 29.95 USD https://www.ohregionalities.com/product/against-the-grain-modernism-in-the-midwest https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/366282661/AGAINST+THE+GRAIN.jpg 101211913 new in stock 99884488 Ohio's Black Hand Syndicate Fears that the Mafia had reached our shores and infiltrated every Italian immigrant community kept police alert and citizens on edge.

Railroads brought coal, much of it mined in southeastern Ohio, and iron ore to the steel plants and hauled away the finished products. The Timken Roller Bearing Company moved to Canton in 1902 and in the 1920s began making roller bearings for railroad locomotives and rolling stock. Written in cooperation with the Akron Railroad Club, this book chronicles the history and development of the railroads that served Stark, Wayne, Holmes, Carroll, and Tuscarawas Counties. It shows how rail operations changed as the steel industry declined and railroad consolidations led to traffic shifts and route abandonment. Among the railroads that served this region were the Pennsylvania, Baltimore and Ohio, New York Central, and Wheeling and Lake Erie. 21.99 USD https://www.ohregionalities.com/product/canton-area-railroads https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/347216212/Canton+Area+Rail+Roads+cover.png 93941863 new in stock 93941821 Italians of Stark County Images of America: Italians of Stark County focuses on Italian immigration into Stark County beginning in the late 1800s. At the time, Stark County's urban hub of Canton and the surrounding communities were in the middle of a thriving expansion driven by industry, transportation, and manufacturing. Along with this growth came the need for labor, with immigration filling many of those needs. Italians came to Stark County to work in the steel mills, in the coal mines, and on the railroad, as well as to start their own small businesses. Once established, Italian families began to replicate the community foundations from their native land, and in turn these foundations reinforced embedded values: family, food, religion, music, and freedom. 21.99 USD https://www.ohregionalities.com/product/italians-of-stark-county https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/347216011/Italians+of+Stark+cover.png 93941821 new in stock 93941788 Greeks of Stark County By the early 20th century, Stark County was one of the fastest-growing regions in the nation. The home of martyred president William McKinley had become a major industrial center, with alloy steel as the engine of growth for the booming local economy. To fill the ever-increasing demand for labor, waves of immigrants from Greece and Asia Minor settled in Canton and Massillon. Some sought economic opportunity; others were fleeing the Pontian Black Sea coast, where ethnic cleansing of Greeks accompanied the creation of the Turkish state. For the immigrant earning less than $3 a day, building a church meant making a commitment to a new life. In Canton, St. Haralambos Greek Orthodox Church was founded in 1913 and Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in 1917. In Massillon, St. George Greek Orthodox Church was established in 1931. Churches and mutual aid organizations provided cohesiveness to the dynamic, often fractious, Greek community, which survived world wars, economic depression, and social discrimination and continues to flourish today. 21.99 USD https://www.ohregionalities.com/product/greeks-of-stark-county https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/347215909/Greeks+of+Stark+County.png 93941788 new in stock 93941743 Canton Ohio This fascinating photographic history focuses onCanton, Ohio, from its industrial awakening in the1860s, through its near demise during the urban decay of the late 1960s.

In the 1920s, manufacturing companies such as Goodyear and Firestone fielded baseball teams that battled for local bragging rights and opportunities for players to make the big leagues. Along with these industrial leagues, professional baseball found its way to the Akron-Canton area with minor-league teams including the Akron Yankees (1935-1941), the Canton-Akron Indians (1989-1996), and the Akron Aeros (1997-). In addition to teams affiliated with major-league ball clubs, this area gave birth to independent teams such as the Canton Crocodiles (1997-2001), the Canton Coyotes (2002), and others. Besides professional baseball gracing local fields, nearby universities have storied baseball programs of their own.

For good measure, the Sells brothers threw in a sharpshooting show with a young Ohio woman by the name of Annie Oakley. The Walter L. Main Circus of Geneva and a number of smaller shows presented their own unique spectacles with exotic animals and daring acrobats. But for all the fun and games, Ohio's circus industry was serious business. As competition intensified, advertising wars erupted and acquisitions began.

Referencing new archival discoveries in the Massillon Museum, Spring Hill Historic Home, and Massillon Public Library collections, this book tells stories of early Kendal and Massillon, shedding light on the Ohio frontier and its pioneers from 1812 to 1860. Kendal was founded in 1812 by Thomas and Charity Rotch, prominent Quakers from powerful New England whaling families. Kendal became an Owenite utopian socialistic community between 1826 and 1829, visited by Robert Owen himself. In 1826, James Duncan founded Massillon, bordering the Tuscarawas River, the boundary between the United States and Indian Territory. Massillon attracted inventors such as photographic pioneer Abel Fletcher, who invented the paper negative in his South Erie Street studio.

The story of Massillon football can be seen in the extraordinary ways that the community comes together to support its Tigers season after season, generation after generation. Tiger Legacy is rooted in a more than one hundred-year history that traces back to the origins of the sport. While football was not created in Massillon, it took root there in ways that popularized the game. The rivalry between Massillon and the nearby Canton McKinley Bulldogs began in 1894 and is considered among the greatest high school football rivalries in the United States. Both teams are in the top ten nationally for total team victories, and historians believe the rivalry had a key role in the evolution of pro-football. The American Professional Football Association was formed in Canton, Ohio, in 1920 and a few years later, it would become the National Football League.

Massillon was a legendary eighteenth-century French bishop who delivered compelling sermons to both nobility and commoners. The book contains one of his sermons. Research and preparation for this milestone book included a visit to Hyeres, France, the birthplace of Jean-Baptiste Massillon, on the 350th anniversary of his birth. That visit, based on a shared heritage, established a relationship that will likely continue for generations. Massillon Connection: A Pioneer Woman, a French Bishop, and a Village on a River is the definitive story behind the origins of the naming of a city. It includes the story of the person who named Massillon and the story of the person for whom it was named. 29.95 USD https://www.ohregionalities.com/product/the-massillon-connection https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/258585989/Massillon+Cover_sm.jpg 62271911 new in stock
