Canton, located in northeastern Ohio, is situated in the Nimishillen Creek. In 1805 Canton was founded and became a manufacturing center with a number of railroad lines. When heavy manufacturing declined, Canton’s industry became a service economy with retail, education, financial and healthcare. Canton’s population has declined from over 80,000 people in 2000 to 78,319. Still, Canton is in 8th most populated place among the other cities in Ohio.
