Akron is the seat of Summit County, located on the Little Cuyahoga River. The community name is a Greek term meaning "high" owing to its location at the "summit" of the Ohio and Erie Canal.
Dr. Benjamin Franklin Goodrich arrived in 1870, establishing a plant for fire hose. The rise of the automobile fueled the growth of the local rubber industry and transformed Akron from a small canal town into a fledgling "Tire City."
But Akron is not all rubber after all. Alcoholics Anonymous was founded in Akron in 1935, and so is the first graded school system in the country. Modern Akron is home to the first trans-active science museum - also called the "National Inventors Hall of Fame" - just fitting for Akron for giving the world its 'firsts': breakfast cereal, artificial fish bait, automobile police patrol wagon, U.S. space suits, and long distance electric railway in the world.
The University of Akron is home to over 23,000 students, and is a world leader in polymer research.
