Wadsworth

Wadsworth has functioned as a farming and manufacturing community in northeastern Ohio since the early 19th century. Set amid the rolling, glacially shaped terrain southwest of Akron, this Medina County city retains a compact downtown as its civic focus. It takes its name from General Elijah Wadsworth, a surveyor and landowner associated with the area’s early settlement. The annual Blue Tip Festival recalls the local match-making industry, once represented by the Ohio Match Company, and remains a fixture of the community calendar. Parks, neighbourhood streets and independent businesses give the city a distinctly local rhythm beyond the larger urban centres of northeast Ohio.
