Youngstown - Youngstown

Japanese: ヤングズタウン - やんぐずたうん(英語表記)Youngstown
Youngstown - Youngstown

A city in northeastern Ohio, USA. Located near the border with Pennsylvania. Population 82,026 (2000). Since its founding in 1803, it has always prospered as one of the largest centers of the steel industry in the United States, but since the late 1970s, the steel industry has declined due to the closure and relocation of major steel companies' factories, and many steel workers have been laid off. However, other industries have made remarkable inroads, and automobile and aircraft parts, plastics, rubber, office equipment, and paper manufacturing maintain high standards nationwide. The town was established in 1797, and the opening of the Pennsylvania-Ohio Canal in 1839 and the railroad in 1853 promoted the development of the steel industry. It is also excellent in terms of education and culture, with several universities such as Youngstown University (established in 1908), a symphony orchestra, a ballet company, and many parks and golf courses that are popular places for citizens to relax.

アメリカ合衆国、オハイオ州北東部の都市。ペンシルベニア州境近くに位置する。人口8万2026(2000)。1803年の創業以来つねに合衆国最大の鉄鋼業の中心地の一つとして繁栄を続けてきたが、1970年代後半から大手鉄鋼企業の工場閉鎖や移転に伴う鉄鋼業の衰退がみられ、多くの鉄鋼労働者が解雇された。しかし、他業種の進出が目覚ましく、自動車や航空機部品、プラスチック、ゴム、事務機器、製紙などは全国的に高い水準を保つ。1797年に町が開設され、1839年のペンシルベニア―オハイオ運河、53年の鉄道の開通が鉄鋼業の発達を促進した。教育・文化面にも優れ、ヤングズタウン大学(1908創立)などいくつかの大学を有するほか、交響楽団やバレエ団を育て、多くの公園やゴルフ場は市民の憩いの場として親しまれている。
