Canton

Canton, Ohio

Canton (On the Highway since 1913) Pop: 80,600 Stark County seat.

From its agricultural beginnings in 1805, Canton soon took advantage of the Miami and Erie Canal System, and later became a major industrial center, with Timken Roller Bearings and the Hoover Company (electric sweepers) as some of the most well known.

Now a culturally rich community with five arts organizations, this city is leading the way in supporting the education, history and tourism of the Lincoln Highway which once ran through Tuscarawas Street and downtown.

A Lincoln Highway concrete post replica sits at the Court House.

Canton has spent millions to refurbish downtown.

The Landmark, built in 1820 is Canton's oldest commercial building. Corner of West Tuscarawas (Lincoln Highway) and Cherry Street.

Canton was known as the brick capital of the world . . .

. . . . in the days of Lincoln Highway, and consequentially, much of eastern Ohio was paved in brick despite the Association's desire to pave primarily in cement. When manufacturers of other paving products complained that the Association was pushing cement over their products, the Association asked the manufactures to donate a free section of road before or after a cement section (which had also been donated). These manufactures refused.
