Youngstown

The landscape around Youngstown is defined by the rolling Mahoning Valley and the Mahoning River, which have shaped both the city’s layout and its industrial economy. Steelmaking once drove the local economy, and the 1977 closure announcement by Youngstown Sheet and Tube became a defining moment in the city’s modern history. Mill Creek Park brings wooded ravines, lakes and trails into the urban area, while the Butler Institute of American Art, founded in 1919, was the first museum devoted exclusively to American art. Downtown Youngstown also serves as the home of Youngstown State University. Continue with other webcams from northeastern Ohio to see how the Mahoning Valley connects across the region.
