About Akron

Akron sits in northeastern Ohio along the Cuyahoga River, with a population of around 190,000. Once a national center of rubber and tire manufacturing in the early twentieth century, the city has since diversified its economy and identity. Visitors can explore its network of neighborhood green spaces, including Perkins Park, Gale Park, and Emerling-Curtis Park, as well as community anchors such as Shiloh Baptist Church and Saint Joseph Melkite Greek Catholic Church. Akron offers an accessible, mid-sized Midwestern city experience for those looking beyond Ohio's larger urban centers.
