Canton (/ˈkæntən/) is a city in Stark County, Ohio, United States, and its county seat.[8] The population was 70,872 at the 2020 census, making Canton the eighth-most populous city in Ohio.[9] The Canton–Massillon metropolitan area, which includes all of Stark and Carroll counties, was home to 401,574 residents in 2020. Canton is located approximately 60 miles (97 km) south of Cleveland and 20 miles (32 km) south of Akron in Northeast Ohio on the edge of Ohio's Amish Country.
Founded in 1805 alongside the Nimishillen Creek, Canton became a center of heavy industry because of its numerous railroad lines. As shifts in the manufacturing industry led to the relocation or downsizing of many factories and workers during the late 20th century, the city's industry diversified into the service economy, including retailing, education, finance and healthcare.
Canton is best known as the home of the Pro Football Hall of Fame and the birthplace of the National Football League. 25th U.S. President William McKinley conducted his famous front porch campaign from his home in Canton, winning the presidency in the 1896 election. The McKinley National Memorial and William McKinley Presidential Library and Museum commemorate his life and presidency. Canton was also selected as the site of the First Ladies National Historic Site largely in honor of his wife, Ida Saxton McKinley.
