Akron anchors Summit County as one of northeastern Ohio's most significant cities, a place whose identity was built on the rubber industry that made it the tire capital of the world for much of the twentieth century. The Cuyahoga River valley provided the water power and transportation access that drew industries to Akron, and the city's diverse population—workers from across Appalachia, Europe, and the American South who came for factory employment—created a vibrant, working-class metropolitan culture. Today Akron balances its industrial heritage with the University of Akron, a growing arts scene, and the recreational opportunities of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park on its northern doorstep.
