A city in northeastern Ohio, United States. Founded in 1825. Located about 50 km south of Cleveland. The name means "high place" in Greek, and the city is located at the dividing point of the Ohio River and the Great Lakes. The completion of the Ohio-Erie Canal in 1830 and the Pittsburgh-Akron canal in 1840 helped Akron develop as an industrial city until the railroad was opened. A small rubber industry that started in 1871 boomed with the arrival of the automobile in the early 20th century (1910-20), and the city became known as the "rubber capital of the world." There are many factories that produce military aircraft, paint, rubber, etc. The Akron Art Museum and the University of Akron (predecessor to Batchelor College, founded in 1870) are located in the city. Population: 199,110 (2010). Source: Encyclopaedia Britannica Concise Encyclopedia About Encyclopaedia Britannica Concise Encyclopedia Information |
