Akron

Akron is best known in Ohio for its historic role as the Rubber Capital of the World. Set on the Cuyahoga River in northeastern Ohio, the city became a major centre of tyre manufacturing as companies including Goodyear, Firestone and B.F. Goodrich expanded here in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. That industrial legacy remains part of Akron’s identity, alongside the University of Akron and the Ohio & Erie Canalway. Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens, the former estate of Goodyear co-founder F. A. Seiberling, preserves a prominent chapter of that era.
