Rootstown

Rootstown lies near the West Branch Mahoning River in Portage County’s rolling uplands, where the Michael J. Kirwan Reservoir and West Branch State Park add a broad water-and-woodland setting to northeast Ohio. The community belongs to the historic Western Reserve, land once claimed by Connecticut and settled by migrants from New England in the early 19th century. Its best-known institution is Northeast Ohio Medical University (NEOMED), a public university dedicated to medicine, pharmacy and graduate health sciences. Rootstown’s rural character contrasts with the larger urban centres of Akron and Youngstown. Browse webcams around Portage County and northeast Ohio to see how Rootstown fits into the wider region.
