 Canton, located in Ohio's Stark County, started out as a business venture by Bezaleel Wells, a surveyor during the turn of the 19th century. Bezaleel took his plot of land and sold lots, which became the village of Canton in 1815. As the population grew, a schoolhouse erected, and roads to the west were built, Canton became a city.
Today, Canton is the center of many diversified industries and manufactures over 1600 different products. Canton is also known as the greatest steel-producing center in the world. It is also an important agricultural area, producing many nationally known brands of dairy and poultry. Stark County, Ohio is one of the largest and richest vegetable and produce-growing areas in the United States. The state of Ohio is rich in mineral resources, with large deposits of coal, shale, clay, limestone, and gravel. From football to museums to chocolate, Canton is the center of a number of attractions.
 Historically, Canton is known as the home of President William McKinley, and travelers from all over visit the William McKinley Presidential Library & Museum.
